What is the MI Health Link Program?
MI Health Link is a program that provides coordinated medical, mental health, and substance use disorder services to residents in Macomb County who are covered by both Medicare and Medicaid.

You are eligible for the MI Health Link Plan as long as you:

What are the Advantages of the MI Health Link Program?

- MCCMH and your Health Plan will work together to help make your Medicare and Michigan Medicaid benefits work better together and work better for you.
- You will not pay a deductible or copayment when you get services from a provider or pharmacy in the plan’s provider network.
- You will have your own Care Coordinator/Care Manager who will ask you about your health care needs and choices and will work with you to create a personal care plan based on your goals.
- Your Care Coordinator/Care Manager will help you get what you need, when you need it. This person will answer your questions and make sure that your health care issues get the attention they deserve.
- You will be able to address both medical as well as behavioral health issues at the same time.
