Michigan offers several Medicaid programs tailored to different groups of individuals based on their specific needs and eligibility criteria. Here are the main types of Medicaid programs in Michigan:
Healthy Michigan Plan: This is for residents aged 19-64 whose income is at or below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). It's designed to cover adults who don't qualify for other Medicaid programs but need health insurance.
MIChild: A health insurance program for eligible children under age 19. This program has a higher income limit than other Medicaid programs, and there is a very low monthly premium.
Medicaid for Pregnant Women: Provides comprehensive health care coverage to pregnant women up to a higher income limit. Coverage can extend postpartum and include services related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Children's Special Health Care Services (CSHCS): This program assists children and some adults with special health care needs and their families by covering services for certain qualifying medical conditions.
Medicare Savings Program: Helps low-income seniors and persons with disabilities pay for Medicare expenses like premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance.
Emergency Services Only (ESO): For individuals who meet all eligibility criteria for Medicaid except for citizenship or immigration status, providing coverage for emergency services only.
Hospice Medicaid: Provides care for terminally ill individuals who require palliative care, with a focus on comfort and quality of life.
Each of these programs has specific eligibility requirements based on income, age, medical needs, and other factors.
