LANSING – Total enrollment in Healthy Michigan, the state’s expanded Medicaid eligibility program, has topped more than 355,000 people, the Department of Community Health showed on Monday.
The latest milestone was reached less than one month after enrollments hit 320,000, which was the total expected for all of 2014.
If enrollments continue at the current pace, the state could hit the estimated total number of people it would cover – 470,000 – in a little more than another two months.
The program began admitting people to program on April 1.
The largest number of enrollees comes from Wayne County at 98,414 so far and 54,896 of those specifically from Detroit.
Macomb County has the next largest total of enrollees at 26,334, following by 25,760 from Oakland County, 23,644 from Genesee County and 17,256 from Kent County.
