Michigan Short-Term Rules

With any one insurer, Michigan caps short-term coverage at 185 days per 365-day period. Inside that cap, Vivna can place UnitedHealthcare short-term coverage. Even so, these plans can exclude prior conditions and leave out some ACA benefits. In Michigan, short-term plans last up to 6 months and cannot be renewed; ask an agent. Read the full tradeoffs on our short-term coverage overview.

Healthy Michigan Plan and MIChild

For adults 19 to 64, the Healthy Michigan Plan reaches incomes near 138 percent of poverty. However, from January 1 many enrollees must document 80 hours of activity a month. MIChild covers uninsured kids up to about 212 percent of poverty, with no premium.

Add-Ons for Every Generation

Older relatives and young kids both have extra needs. Luckily, those extras rarely cost much.

Sterling Heights Hospitals, Networks and Doctors

Sterling Heights has no general hospital inside city limits. Instead, health insurance Sterling Heights buyers rely on nearby campuses in Clinton Township, Warren, Mount Clemens and Troy. Accordingly, we map which of those hospitals each plan covers.

Plans often favor one system, so a switch can change your doctors. Consequently, ask an agent at 888-730-6001 to verify each provider.

Henry Ford Macomb Hospital

This Clinton Township hospital, just east of the city, has more than 350 beds. For many east-side families, it is the closest full hospital.

McLaren Macomb

McLaren Macomb in Mount Clemens runs a Level II trauma center. Accordingly, it matters for serious injuries on M-59.

Henry Ford Warren Hospital

Formerly an Ascension campus, this Level III trauma center sits just south in Warren. Check the new name in your plan directory.

Beaumont Troy, a Level II trauma center, sits just west across Dequindre Road. Many specialists in Oakland County practice there.

Health Insurance Sterling Heights FAQs

Macomb families ask these health insurance Sterling Heights questions more than any others. Questions that apply to all of Michigan are answered in our Michigan coverage questions library. Weekday help is available at 888-730-6001.

My parents live with us. Can they join our plan?

Marketplace plans cover your tax household. If you claim your parents as dependents, they may be included.

I arrived as a refugee. Can I still get tax credits?

From January 1, refugees and asylees generally lose Marketplace credits. After you become a permanent resident, eligibility can return.

I own a small store. How do I estimate income?

Use your expected net profit after expenses, not gross sales. Then update HealthCare.gov if business changes.

My doctor moved to a Henry Ford hospital. Is my plan affected?

Possibly, so confirm the doctor and hospital in your plan directory. Ownership changes can shift networks.

Can my child keep MIChild if I buy a Marketplace plan?

Yes, because children qualify separately. In fact, families often split coverage this way.

How long can a short-term plan last in Michigan?

Up to 185 days within any 365 days with the same insurer.

Do I need to visit an office?

No. Phone calls and online forms handle every step. That way, you skip Hall Road traffic.
