Eligibility & Enrollment

Common Questions and Eligibility

To qualify for MI Coordinated Health (MICH), you must be enrolled in both Medicare and full Medicaid. If eligible, you may have a special enrollment period to choose a MICH plan.

MICH plans are designed to integrate Medicare and Medicaid benefits, including coverage for long-term services and supports. While plan providers coordinate services such as medical care and prescription coverage, Family Love Care focuses specifically on helping you understand and access the personal care services available under your long-term care benefits.

For full plan details, including provider networks and coverage, we recommend visiting the state website or speaking directly with a plan representative. Our team is here to help you navigate how MICH impacts your personal care services and ensure you receive the support you need at home.

Healthy Benefits+

$210 Monthly Allowance

One of the most exciting MICH benefits is the Healthy Benefits+ monthly credit. Use it for groceries, essential items, and utilities every month.

Grocery Shopping

Healthy food to help manage chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disorders

Essential Items

Over-the-counter drugs, health supplies, and other essential personal care items

Utilities

Help with heating and electric bills to keep your home safe and comfortable

$210 / month β€” loaded to your Healthy Benefits+ card

Use it at participating stores and for approved utility payments.

Home Care Services

Support Where You Live

Through Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS), MICH members can receive help with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, and meal preparation.

These services are available to individuals who need support at home β€” not just those trying to avoid a nursing facility. Eligibility is based on a functional assessment of your needs.

Family Love Care works directly with your health plan to provide home and community-based services (HCBS).

Your Care Coordinator Will:

  • Coordinate between your doctor, pharmacy, and Family Love Care team
  • Help you access specialized care for qualifying chronic conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disorders
