Human services: medical services; automatic enrollment and renewal for certain individuals under the medical assistance program; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 10h.
This bill updates Michigan's medical assistance program to streamline how people sign up and renew their coverage. It requires the state to use a faster enrollment method for minors and adults under 21, allowing the use of existing data from food and cash assistance programs to determine eligibility. The legislation also permits the state to automatically renew coverage for eligible individuals and gives the department authority to expand these data-driven methods to more people in the future. By relying on electronic records, the bill aims to reduce the paperwork and time needed for both initial applications and periodic eligibility checks.
