Medicaid Managed Care Plan Regulations

Current understanding

Michigan regulates Medicaid managed care plans through the Social Welfare Act (1939 PA 280), particularly sections 105d, 109, 111i, and 111j. Proposed amendments under HB6133 would modify these existing provisions and add three new sections (111o, 111p, 111q) governing managed care plan operations, though specific substantive changes are not yet detailed publicly. Managed care plans deliver benefits to the majority of Michigan Medicaid enrollees, so regulatory changes here affect beneficiary access, plan obligations, and state oversight.
