The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) recently finalized the educational document that hospitals are now required to provide to parents of newborns under Public Act 250 of 2024 (House Bill 4173 of 2023).
The document outlines enrollment deadlines, steps for submitting documentation and initiating enrollment and explains available types of coverage for parents and guardians with a newborn. Hospitals must distribute the document to parents as part of the insurance enrollment process for newborns.
Members with additional questions should contact the MHA Advocacy Team.
