  • Do not qualify for or have Medicare or another Medicaid program, and are not pregnant when you apply.
  • Meet new work requirements that the state says begin January 1, 2027. Check the state site to see whether they apply to you.
  • Apply online through MI Bridges, call the Michigan Health Care Helpline at 1-855-789-5610, or visit your local MDHHS office.
  • Covered services include emergency care, hospital stays, prescriptions, preventive care, and mental health and substance use treatment. Copays may apply.
Healthy home

Your home and your health

Older homes can hide health risks. Census estimates show about 78% of Detroit homes were built before 1960, so paint in many houses may contain lead. Ask about lead paint testing before you sand or scrape, and hire pros for lead abatement when needed. Damp basements can lead to mold, so compare mold testing and basement waterproofing. Radon is another hidden risk; see radon testing and radon mitigation.

Better air helps too: look at indoor air quality upgrades and duct cleaning. For accessibility changes, see our senior resources.
