What changed

MDHHS says MICH is scheduled to expand statewide in 2027. MICH combines Medicare and most Medicaid benefits, including eligible long-term services and supports, through one plan.
Every MICH member has a care coordinator. That person helps assess needs, create a care plan and connect the member with approved providers.
