Michigan State Budget Includes Full Funding for Medicaid

Michigan’s new state budget was passed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on October 7, reports the Michigan Heath and Hospital Association. Included in the budget was full funding for Medicaid and the Healthy Michigan Plan, the restoration of Specialty Network Access Fees, continued support for rural and obstetric stabilization pools, preserved funding to support Maternal Levels of Care verification, and the restoration of funding for the Michigan Clinical Consultation and Care program. Each of these measures helps to ensure healthcare for all Michiganders, including those in rural and underserved areas.
