The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) announced April 8 Medicaid program contract awardees for the contract that begins Oct. 1, 2024. Nine health plans were awarded contracts to cover Medicaid services for nearly two million eligible individuals across Michigan’s 10 Prosperity Regions. The contracts will be in effect for up to eight years when the initial five-year period and up to three one-year extensions are considered.
Contracts were awarded to the same nine health plans that currently cover Medicaid enrollees, with changes to the regions in which some plans operate:
- Aetna Better Health of Michigan
- Blue Cross Complete of Michigan
- HAP CareSource
- McLaren Health Plan
- Molina Healthcare of Michigan
- Meridian Health Plan of Michigan
- Priority Health Choice
- United Healthcare Community Plan
- Upper Peninsula Health Plan
The MHA created an excel document to help members compare the regions in which plans operate under the existing and new contracts. Maps illustrating current prosperity regions and new prosperity regions are available on the MDHHS website.
Health plans may appeal MDHHS recommendations through Monday, April 22.
