MyMichigan

Important information about our relationship with MyMichigan

UnitedHealthcare and MyMichigan Health have reached agreement to renew our network relationship for employer-sponsored and individual commercial plans. Members enrolled in these plans will have continued, uninterrupted access to the health system’s providers statewide and the following hospitals:  

  • MyMichigan Medical Center Saginaw
  • MyMichigan Medical Center Standish
  • MyMichigan Medical Center Tawas
  • MyMichigan Medical Center Sault

UnitedHealthcare and MyMichigan have made the decision to end our network relationship for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans.

MyMichigan’s providers statewide and the hospitals listed above are out of network for members enrolled in the following plans, effective Jan. 1, 2026:

  • Medicare Advantage plans, including Group Retiree plans
  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan in Michigan (Medicaid)
  • Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNP)

Medicare Supplement plans are not impacted and will remain in network. 

Here are a few things you need to know:

We understand that network changes can be difficult. Our priority is to provide our members access to the care they need through a robust network of providers.

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage and Medicaid members will continue to have access to a broad network of providers and hospitals throughout central and northeastern Michigan.

For support finding in-network hospitals, members can call the customer care number on their health plan ID card or visit their plan’s website.

Impacted members who are in the middle of treatment with a MyMichigan provider or at a MyMichigan hospital may qualify for continuity of care.

Continuity of care allows people in ongoing or active treatment for a serious or complex condition at the time a provider leaves our network to continue accessing care with their provider at in-network rates for a period of time. Some examples of people who qualify for continuity of care include, but are not limited to:

  • Women who are pregnant
  • Patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed cancer, or those currently in active cancer treatment

People who have questions about continuity of care, including whether they might be eligible and how to apply, should call the number on the back of their health plan ID card.

Members enrolled in our Group Retiree Medicare Advantage PPO plans may still receive care from a MyMichigan provider as an out-of-network provider, if they are a Medicare-approved provider that accepts the plan.

If people have a Group Retiree PPO plan, their share of the cost is typically the same as if the provider was part of the network.

UnitedHealthcare Group Retiree Medicare Advantage members are encouraged to speak with their physician to confirm they’ll continue to see them, regardless of their network status.

For additional information about our Group Retiree plan as well as information on how to find a provider in their area, UnitedHealthcare members should go to retiree.uhc.com.

UnitedHealthcare members should always go to the nearest hospital in the event of an emergency.

Their services will be covered at the in-network benefit level, regardless of whether the hospital participates in UnitedHealthcare’s network.
