Medicaid

Have you been neglecting your health because you do not have an affordable way to get to your doctor's appointments? If you are a Medicaid recipient, you were assigned to a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). HMOs are organizations that consist of member physicians and other health care staff that provides curative and preventative health care to enrolled individuals and families in a particular geographic area.

Important: HMO organizations contracted by the state of Michigan are required to provide transportation as part of the contractual aggreement.

Finding Your HMO Provider

The name of your provider is located on the member identification card that you were sent upon enrolling into the Medicaid program. If you did not receive an id card, please contact your local DHS office.
