Community Welcome!

October 18, 2006

State Senator Bob Emerson will speak about the Genesee County Health Services millage on the November 7th ballot.

The Genesee Health Plan is basic health coverage for working adults.

The largest cost to local businesses in Genesee County is health care for employees. 12 million in uncompensated care at Hurley. Preventive Dr. visits can have a positive effect on our local economy and our college students.

GHP is a 501 (C) 3 organization and has a Board of Directors from the local health systems and public health organizations. GHP has contracted with HealthPlus of Michigan, to provide member servicing, claims payment and Please delete me! management.

Who are the providers and how do you choose a provider?
Providers are affiliated with Hurley, Genesys and McLaren health systems. You will be asked to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the list of GHP participating physicians. You can choose your PCP at the time of application, by calling GHP at (810) 720-7785, or by talking with a health department representative. You may change providers one time each year. If you do not choose a doctor within 15 days of enrollment, one will be assigned. You will be notified of the choice and will have an opportunity to make a change.

How long will you be a member of GHP?
GHP and FIA will do a redetermination of eligibility at least every 24 months. However, you may not stay enrolled in GHP if you become eligible for other insurance. If you are found eligible for Medicaid you will no longer have GHP coverage.

What happens if you need inpatient care?
Inpatient care is not a benefit of GHP. If inpatient care is needed, you should seek care at a local hospital. The hospital will determine if you are eligible for a special program or payment plan. You may also be asked to apply for Medicaid.

How does my doctor know if I am eligible for services?
You will receive an enrollment card. If it is necessary for you to see a doctor or get medicine before you get your enrollment card, call Genesee Health Plan at (810) 720-7785. Providers can access the Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system at 1-800-675-2965 to confirm eligibility, PCP assignment and coverage. Customer Service is available through HealthPlus at 1-800-332-9161.

*Applicants with income below $500 per month should go to Family Independence Agency to apply for State Medical Plan enrollment (SMP). FIA determines eligibility.
