Participation in the Healthy Michigan Plan

If your practice is in one of our approved counties and you are not currently contracted with our Medicaid product (which includes the Healthy Michigan Plan), contact your provider account representative to become a participating provider. If you are participating but your practice is closed, consider opening to new members.

To open to new Medicaid/Healthy Michigan Plan members, complete the Provider information form. We will open your practice effective on the date we receive your request.

Eligibility and enrollment

Per state regulation, the Healthy Michigan Plan will cover people who are:

  • Ages 19-64
  • Earning up to 133% of the Federal Poverty Level, approximately $15,000 for single person or $34,000 for a family of four
  • Residents of Michigan
  • Not currently eligible for Medicaid
  • Not eligible for or enrolled in Medicare
  • Not pregnant when applying for the Healthy Michigan Plan

Enrollment period: Eligible members will join this plan every month. There is no set enrollment period.

Effective date: The member's effective date will always be on the first of a month.

Identifying members of Healthy Michigan Plan vs. Medicaid

ID cards: The State of Michigan does not allow us to indicate "Healthy Michigan Plan" on member ID cards. Therefore, Priority Health ID cards will show the plan as Priority Health Choice HMI.

Member Inquiry: These members share the Medicaid group number 10001. We identify them in the Member Inquiry tool as Healthy Michigan Plan/Priority Health Choice HMI members.

Annual visit

The goal of the Healthy Michigan Plan is to help members get healthy and stay healthy. Therefore, members are encouraged to contact their PCP to schedule an "annual visit." The purpose of the annual visit is to review and complete a health risk assessment (HRA) with provider, and assist the member in selecting a healthy behavior.

The PCP can be either a physician or a mid-level primary care provider (NP/PA).

Submit HRA forms through CHAMPS or to Priority Health via fax to 616.942.0616. To learn more about the Healthy Michigan Plan and form submission methods, visit the Healthy Michigan Plan form submission page.
