Healthy Michigan Plan
Last updated: June 13, 2026
The Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP) is Michigan's Medicaid expansion program, created under the Affordable Care Act. It provides low-cost health care coverage to Michigan residents so more people can get the care they need.
What does the Healthy Michigan Plan cover?
The Healthy Michigan Plan offers comprehensive health benefits, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, preventive services, behavioral health, and more. It is designed to give low-income adults access to affordable, quality care through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
Who is eligible?
The Healthy Michigan Plan covers low-income adults who meet income and residency requirements under Michigan's Medicaid expansion. It primarily serves adults who may not have qualified for traditional Medicaid pathways. Because eligibility is based on income and household size, applying is the best way to confirm whether you qualify.
How to apply and what it costs
You can apply online through MI Bridges (Michigan.gov/MIBridges), at your local MDHHS office, or by mail. The plan is low cost; some enrollees may have modest cost-sharing depending on income, and the official Healthy Michigan Plan resources explain the current details.
