What You Need to Know about Your Coverage Renewal for Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan and MIChild
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) will be restarting Medicaid eligibility renewals soon.
What does this mean for you?
It means you need to be sure MDHHS has all of the information it needs for you to renew your coverage.
If you receive the renewal form, you must complete it.
There are 3 easy steps you need to take to help determine if you still qualify for coverage:

Visit www.michigan.gov/MIBridges or contact your local MDHHS office. You can find your nearest MDHHS office at https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside-mdhhs/county-offices.
If you don’t have a MIBridges account, you will need to create one by selecting “Register.” Once you’re in your own account, make sure to put all of your information in correctly.
