Time to renew your coverage.
Renewal requirements will soon begin again for all Medicaid members.
You will receive your renewal form in the mail, so it is important to keep your contact information up to date in your MI Bridges account. Make sure to update your contact information in both the Profile and Report Changes sections of your account.
The RSV Symptoms you need to know.
Doctors are seeing a sharp increase in cases of Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV. RSV is a virus with symptoms that usually last less than a week. Typically, cases of RSV do not need a doctor’s care. However, the virus can sometimes turn into a more serious case of bronchiolitis or pneumonia. Symptoms to watch for include trouble breathing, fast breathing or wheezing. Call your doctor at the first sign of any of these symptoms.
Making routine eye care a priority.
As of December 1, 2022, the vision services in your plan have changed. We’ve partnered with EyeMed to provide your vision coverage and services. However, you must now see an eye doctor in the Priority Health EyeMed network to use these benefits. Follow the link below to make sure your eye doctor is in network, or to choose one who is. You can also call EyeMed customer service at 866.608.9378 (TTY 711).
