Datapoint: Michigan Awards Contracts for New Duals Program
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services this week awarded contracts to nine health plans to launch the MI Coordinated Health program on January 1, 2026. Selected payers include Centene Corp., Molina Healthcare, Humana Inc., UnitedHealthcare and CareSource’s partnership with Health Alliance Plan (HAP). The new plans will serve individuals dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, beginning in select counties before expanding statewide in 2027. MI Coordinated Health aims to provide comprehensive care coordination, including home- and community-based services and nursing-facility care. It will replace the MI Health Link program, which ends on December 31, 2025, ensuring a seamless transition for current enrollees. MI Health Link currently serves 34,413 duals via managed care plans.
