UPHP MI Health Link is a new program that will allow you to get health care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid. UPHP MI Health Link lets you use one plan and one card for health care, behavioral health care, home and community-based services, nursing home care, and medications.
You will have your own care coordinator who will help link you to your doctors, pharmacies, behavioral health care and long-term care supports and services through your health plan. The care coordinator will also help make sure that all your doctors and other providers work together to meet your needs and honor your choices. This person will assist with your care plan, answer your questions, help get appointments and services, arrange transportation, and more.
