What Is Changing?

Changes begin in 2027, but not everyone with Medicaid will be affected in the same way.

Work or Other Approved Activities

Some Healthy Michigan Plan members ages 19–64 may need to meet new work or approved activity requirements unless they qualify for an exemption.

Members may meet the requirement by completing at least 80 hours of qualifying activity in one month during their review period.

Qualifying activities may include:

  • Paid or unpaid work
  • School or education programs
  • Job training or internships
  • Volunteering
  • Community service

Many people may already meet the requirement or qualify for an exemption.

Six-Month Renewals

Most Healthy Michigan Plan members will need to renew their Medicaid coverage every six months instead of once a year.

MDHHS will notify you if additional information is needed to complete your renewal.

It is important to open notices and respond by the deadline listed.

Current Healthy Michigan Plan members will begin having work requirements reviewed for renewal dates on or after March 1, 2027.

You May Qualify for an Exemption

Not everyone with Healthy Michigan Plan coverage will need to meet the work requirement. Some people may qualify for an exemption based on their circumstances.

  • Pregnant or recently gave birth
  • Caring for a child age 13 or younger
  • Caring for a person with a disability
  • Living with certain health conditions or disabilities
  • American Indian or Alaska Native
  • Former foster youth under age 26
  • Certain disabled veterans
  • Participating in substance use treatment
  • Certain SNAP or TANF participants
  • Experiencing certain temporary hardships

MDHHS determines whether an exemption applies to your individual situation.

Our team can help connect you with the right resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to some of the most common questions about Healthy Michigan Plan changes.

Does this affect everyone with Medicaid?

No. The new work requirements apply to certain adults ages 19–64 covered through the Healthy Michigan Plan. Other Medicaid programs have different requirements.

Does everyone have to work 80 hours?

No. Some people may already meet the requirement through work, school, training, volunteering or other approved activities. Others may qualify for an exemption.

What counts toward the requirement?

Qualifying activities may include work, school, job training, volunteering, community service and other approved activities.

Do I need to send proof every month?

Not necessarily. MDHHS will first review information it already has. If more information is needed, MDHHS will contact you.

What if I cannot work because of my health?

Some people with health conditions, disabilities or complex health needs may qualify for an exemption. MDHHS determines whether an exemption applies.

What if I receive SNAP or Food Assistance?

Medicaid and Food Assistance are separate programs with different work requirements. Some people who already meet certain SNAP or TANF requirements may qualify for an exemption from the Healthy Michigan Plan work requirement.

What should I do if I receive a letter from MDHHS?

Open it right away and review the deadline. If MDHHS asks for information, respond by the date listed.

If you do not understand the notice, contact our Medicaid support team.

HDNW urges families to make immunizations part of the back-to-school checklist
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNW) is encouraging parents and caregivers to review their children’s immunization records before the school year begins.
“One of the most important steps families can take before the new school year is making sure not only children, but the entire family are up to date on recommended vaccines,” says Dr. Josh Meyerson, HDNW Medical Director. “We’ve seen an increase in measles, whooping cough, and other vaccine-preventable diseases over the past couple years. Staying up to date is one of the best ways to protect your family and help keep everyone healthy throughout the school year.”
Back to School Checklist
Immunization requirements vary by age, grade, and school district. Families should check with their child’s school or healthcare provider to confirm which immunizations are required or recommended. Common immunizations for school-aged children and teens include:
  • DTaP/Tdap: Protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough)
  • MMR: Protects against measles, mumps, and rubella
  • Varicella: Protects against chickenpox
  • Meningococcal: Protects preteens, teens, and college students from meningitis and other serious illnesses
  • HPV: Protects preteens and teens from human papillomavirus and prevents HPV related cancers
  • Annual Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: Recommended for everyone, six months and older
  • COVID-19 Vaccine: Recommended for everyone, six months and older
A healthcare professional at HDNW can review your family’s immunization records and help determine which vaccines are needed based on age, health history, and current recommendations.
HDNW Immunization Services
HDNW offers immunization clinics each month. Immunization clinic locations vary month to month as our nurses’ travel to every office throughout our four-county service area. Clinics are offered in Charlevoix, Boyne City, Bellaire, Mancelona, Gaylord, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Pellston.
To schedule an appointment at an Immunization Clinic call us locally at 800-432-4121. Families who need a copy of a child’s immunization record can visit our website at nwhealth.org/childhood-immunizations and complete the Request Form at the bottom of the page.
Michigan’s childhood vaccine recommendations, school requirements, and exemption processes remain unchanged, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Chief Medical Director, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian.

Operational changes are designed to strengthen services, support employees, and ensure access to care.
 
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNW), serving Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties, is providing information regarding the transition of operational management for Dental Clinics North (DCN).
In recent weeks, information has circulated within our communities and employees regarding this transition. HDNW is committed to ensuring employees, patients, and community partners have clear, factual information.
At the June Board of Health meeting, the Board reviewed an evaluation of DCN’s operations. The evaluation identified operational inefficiencies that were creating financial strain for the organization. Following that review, the Board voted to terminate its existing contract with DCN Non-Profit for staffing and management services of the DCN clinics.
As a result of that action, operational leadership of the nine DCN clinics will transition directly to HDNW. HDNW owns all DCN clinics including buildings, equipment, and supplies. Currently, HDNW provides financial management, information technology, billing, facilities management, equipment, and purchasing services. Following this transition, HDNW will assume responsibility for payroll, human resources, and executive leadership.
This decision was not made without efforts of intentional collaboration with DCN Non-Profit board members and HDNW Health Officer, Shannon Klonowski.
Since notifying DCN employees of the transition, HDNW has prioritized open and transparent communication. HDNW staff, including Health Officer Klonowski, are actively visiting DCN clinic locations to meet directly with staff to answer questions and listen to their ideas for improvements.  HDNW has also distributed two rounds of employee questions and answers to all DCN staff addressing common questions about the transition.
HDNW’s vision is Healthy People in Healthy Communities. That vision guides every aspect of this transition. The objective is to strengthen the long-term sustainability of all nine dental clinics by improving operational inefficiency, supporting recruitment and retention, reducing patient wait times, and enhancing the quality of care provided throughout the region.
To be clear, HDNW will not be closing any of the nine Dental Clinics North locations. The intent of this transition is to preserve and strengthen dental services for the communities we serve.
HDNW remains committed to transparency throughout this process and will continue providing timely updates as this transition progresses. Our priority is ensuring uninterrupted access to quality dental care for patients.
For more information on the transition, click here to watch the June Board of Health meeting: June Board of Health meeting. For more information on HDNW please visit our website at nwhealth.org. To stay updated on relevant health information, consider subscribing to our monthly newsletter here.

Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers are proud to introduce new American flag retirement boxes at both our Bellaire and East Jordan locations as part of our continued commitment to supporting veterans and strengthening community partnerships throughout Northern Michigan.

The custom metal boxes were designed and built by advanced welding students in the Career Tech program at East Jordan Middle/High School under the leadership of welding instructor Dave Muladore.

Students Konyr Lewin, Mason Shiers, and Jonny Cosier led the project, applying their technical welding skills in a meaningful real-world setting rooted in service, patriotism, and community impact. Toby Prevo Residential Services also assisted with painting and finishing the boxes.

The completed flag retirement boxes are located in the entryways of both Health Center locations and provide community members with a respectful and accessible way to retire worn or damaged American flags in accordance with proper flag etiquette.

Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers will work alongside community partners including local Girl Scout troops, the American Legion, Veterans Affairs offices, and the Antrim County Veterans group to ensure retired flags are handled and disposed of respectfully.

This initiative also supports the Health Centers’ growing Veteran SALUTE programming and ongoing efforts to better serve veterans through both Primary Care and Behavioral Health services.

The ECRI SALUTE initiative focuses on helping healthcare organizations better understand and respond to the unique physical and mental health needs veterans may face, including service-related injuries, toxic exposures, and mental health concerns.

“This project brought together two important areas of growth within our Behavioral Health programming, veterans and youth,” said Cynthia Pepin, Behavioral Health Director at Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers. “It created an opportunity for students to use their talents in service to veterans and our community while also helping raise awareness about the importance of accessible veteran support services locally.”

Each student involved in the project brought unique goals and experiences to the work:

  • Mason Shiers plans to continue his welding education and pursue advanced certifications.
  • Jonny Cosier regularly applies welding skills through work on his family’s farm.
  • Konyr Lewin values welding as a practical skill that promotes independence and self-sufficiency.

Expanding Veteran Behavioral Health Services

As part of the Health Centers’ growing Veteran SALUTE initiative, Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers continue expanding support services for veterans throughout Northern Michigan.

Behavioral Health services are available to veterans regardless of whether they are established primary care patients of the Health Center, helping reduce barriers to accessing care locally. Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers also accept TRICARE insurance.

The initiative focuses on improving awareness, access, and support for veterans facing service-related physical and mental health challenges while strengthening partnerships throughout the community.

We are grateful to East Jordan Public Schools, Dave Muladore, Toby Prevo Residential Services, our student welders, and all participating veteran organizations for helping bring this project to life.

Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers are proud to support local student athletes and promote healthy, active lifestyles by offering Free MHSAA Athletic Physicals this June.
 
The events will take place at both locations:
  • Bellaire Family Health Center: June 18, 8 to 10 am
  • East Jordan Family Health Center: June 25, 8 to 10 am
 
Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling each location directly. Students will be required to have a completed permission form and MHSAA Physical form signed by a parent/ guardian.
 
Forms:
Participation in youth sports plays an important role in a child’s physical, mental, and social development. From building strength and coordination to improving confidence, teamwork, and resilience, sports help lay the foundation for lifelong healthy habits.
 
“Staying active through sports is one of the best ways for children and teens to support their overall health,” said Joelle Woodruff, DNP, Medical Director. “These physicals help ensure athletes are safe to participate, but they are just one piece of a child’s overall healthcare.”
 
While sports physicals are often required for school athletics, they are more limited in scope than a Well Child Visit, which provides a comprehensive annual checkup. Well Child Visits include growth and development monitoring, preventive screenings, vaccinations, and the opportunity to address any health concerns, and can also include a sports physical.
 
“Athletic Physicals are a great way to meet immediate needs and allow student-athletes to participate in sports,” said Joelle Woodruff, DNP, Medical Director. “We encourage families to think about their child’s long-term health by scheduling annual Well Child Visits and establishing care with a primary care provider.”
 
Families attending the events will also have the opportunity to connect with the health center for ongoing care. Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers provide quality, affordable, comprehensive care for patients of all ages, regardless of ability to pay, and remain committed to supporting the health and well-being of the communities they serve.

The Northwest Food Coalition’s mission is to empower member food programs by coordinating and creating resources to achieve regional food security.

The formation of Northwest Food Coalition goes back to 1994, when the Hunger Action Coalition of Detroit reached out to 7 groups around the state to assess hunger and poverty in rural Michigan We were part of a grass roots movement who formed to assist area pantries in dealing with hunger, gathering resources for them, educating the public on needs and strengthening volunteers through a network that gathered and distributed needed food.

Since our inception, our group now includes roughly 70 food pantries, baby pantries and meal sites in 6 counties to address those hunger needs. Through the generous gifts of time, money and food, we are making a difference in the lives of those people who have needs and offer fellowship and caring to their neighbors. The Coalition members provide more than a can of soup or a sandwich, but also demonstrate the caring of one human being for another.

Whenever children are brought into group settings, there is a chance for diseases to spread. Children must follow state vaccine laws to attend school. These laws are the minimum standard to help prevent disease outbreaks in school settings. The best way to protect your child from other serious diseases is to follow the recommended vaccination schedule at www.cdc.gov/vaccines. Talk to your health care provider to make sure your child is fully protected.
