Medicaid Prosthetic Device Coverage

Current understanding

Michigan Medicaid’s coverage of prosthetic devices is governed by sec. 109 of the Social Welfare Act (1939 PA 280, MCL 400.109). A pending Senate bill would amend that section to expand the scope of prosthetic device coverage available to Medicaid enrollees. The change would affect Medicaid beneficiaries who require artificial limbs or similar devices.
