The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved a new section 1115 demonstration for the State of Michigan titled “Reentry Services.” This reentry demonstration will allow the state to provide limited pre-release demonstration coverage to certain incarcerated individuals under Medicaid, as well as for applicable youth who are or would be eligible for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) if not for their incarceration status, for up to 90 days. Michigan has selected to provide pre-release services in state prisons, county jails, tribal correctional facilities, and juvenile facilities (including Juvenile Justice Facilities and County-Operated Juvenile Detention Centers).
The demonstration is effective through December 31, 2029. Today’s approval and other administrative documents can be found on the Medicaid.gov demonstration page.
