The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has launched a competitive procurement for the Comprehensive Health Care Program contract for Michigan’s Medicaid health plans, which combined serve 2.2 million Michiganders receiving coverage through Medicaid and the Healthy Michigan Plan.
“Through this rebid process, MDHHS will select Medicaid health plan contractors with the experiences, capabilities and commitment to deliver an equitable, coordinated and person-centered system of care that will ultimately provide Michigan residents with a healthier future,” said MDHHS Director Elizabeth Hertel.
The rebid is part of MIHealthyLife, an initiative launched in 2022 to strengthen Medicaid services through new Medicaid health plan contracts.
Input from nearly 10,000 enrollees and family members, health care providers, health plans and other community partners informed the creation of five MIHealthyLife strategic pillars:
• Serve the Whole Person, Coordinating Health and Health-Related Needs.
• Give All Kids a Healthy Start.
• Promote Health Equity and Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities.
• Drive Innovation and Operational Excellence.
• Engage Members, Families and Communities.
The MIHealthyLife initiative guided design of Comprehensive Health Care Program changes embedded in the Medicaid Health Plan contract rebid.
The Medicaid Health Plan request for proposals is posted to the SIGMA system.
Responses from bidders are due on January 16. Bidders are to submit any written non-rate related questions regarding the request for proposal by November 17 and rate-related questions by December 1.
The MIHealthyLife initiative guided design of Comprehensive Health Care Program changes embedded in the Medicaid Health Plan contract rebid. An informational webinar is available on the MIHealthyLife home page describing these priority program changes in more detail.
