Eligibility Overview
A New Era of Integrated Care
Starting January 1, 2026, dually eligible Michigan residents enter a new era of integrated care through MI Coordinated Health (MICH). This program replaces MI Health Link, which ended December 31, 2025.
For those who received Home Help under fee-for-service Medicaid, this transition creates new questions about eligibility and access. MICH is a Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (HIDE SNP) combining Medicare and Medicaid into a single managed plan.

The HIDE SNP Model
Understanding how the Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan works.
HIDE SNP stands for Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan. It is the model underlying MI Coordinated Health, designed to integrate Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) with medical and pharmacy benefits under one managed plan.
Under HIDE SNP, insurance companies are financially responsible for health outcomes. This means your insurer is incentivized to keep you healthy, coordinate your care, and ensure services are delivered efficiently.

Home Care Under MICH
The HCBS component of MICH allows individuals to receive care at home. This benefit is available to those who need help with daily living activities — not just individuals who would otherwise require a nursing facility.
Personal care services are provided as Medicaid state plan benefits. There is no out-of-pocket cost when services are approved and delivered by an in-network provider.
Your assigned Care Coordinator will explain all available services and help create a personalized care plan.
