How to apply for MI Health Link (Medicare-Medicaid Integrated Care)
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Who it's for
MI Health Link combines Medicare and Medicaid into one plan for people who have both, with no copays or deductibles for in-network services and a personal care coordinator. It is available only to people who live in southwest Michigan (Barry, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties), Macomb County, Wayne County, or any county in the Upper Peninsula. You must be age 21 or older, have full Medicare and full Medicaid, and not be in hospice. Michigan ENROLLS sends a letter explaining how to enroll.
MI Health Link is REGION-LIMITED — it is offered only in the southwest Michigan counties listed, Macomb, Wayne, and the entire Upper Peninsula, not statewide. You must have BOTH full Medicare and full Medicaid (be 'dually eligible'). Enrollment is handled by Michigan ENROLLS and is passive (opt-out): if eligible, you are enrolled in a plan unless you choose not to be. People in hospice are not eligible. The Michigan ENROLLS phone (1-800-975-7630) was not confirmed verbatim on the cited page — verify before relying on it.
