Medicaid Policy

Medicaid Policy covers the joint federal-state health coverage framework for eligible low-income residents and other qualifying populations. The program involves federal matching funds, state plans, eligibility rules, managed care, provider reimbursement, waivers, long-term services and coverage for children, families and people with disabilities. In Michigan, policy changes can affect the state's Medicaid program, healthcare providers and beneficiaries. Farmington Voice coverage should distinguish Medicaid from Medicare: Medicaid is administered by states within federal rules, while Medicare is primarily a federal insurance program with a different eligibility structure.
