“Healthy Michigan” is available to more than 470,000 low-income Michiganders between the ages of 19 and 64.
Joining us today is Krista Nordberg, director of enrollment at the Washtenaw Health Plan.
Nordberg says the Healthy Michigan Plan is “extremely comprehensive health care coverage” for low-income individuals. The kind of coverage available includes medical benefits, prescription coverage, dental, vision and mental health services.
But under the new plan, people will be responsible for some of the cost of their health care.
“The co-pays range from about $1 to $3 for the dental and the vision and the prescriptions. And for people with higher incomes – incomes between 100-133% of poverty – they will be asked to contribute to a health savings account, and that is still something being worked out with the state as to how that would be administered through their health plan, and how they will pay into that,” said Nordberg.
