To check a Michigan Medicaid status, it is necessary to call the state Medicaid office. The necessary contact information can be obtained from the State Medicaid Directors (NASMD) site. Alternatively, the NASMD can be called on 202 682-0100 to get the relevant information.
Some states offer a search engine for finding Medicaid numbers online, although most of them do not offer this service. If Michigan does, this may be used instead of calling.
Inactive Medicaid
If it is discovered that the Medicaid is currently not active, information regarding the reasons for the Medicaid not being active should be obtained. It is often possible to file an appeal against the decision if it turns out that the Medicaid was discontinued because the Medicaid office has lost submitted paperwork, or if it was determined for some reason that Medicaid requirements are no longer met.
A letter addressed to the Bureau of Appeals should be sent to the appeals representative of the relevant Medicaid office. An appeal form will then have to be filled in by the appealing individual.
