GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The enrollment navigators who helped people get insurance under the Affordable Care Act began a new task Tuesday, April 1: helping people sign up for Michigan’s expanded Medicaid program.
On the first day of enrollment in the plan, called Healthy Michigan, Cherry Street Health Services received a steady number of visits and calls from people seeking information, said lead navigator Michelle Fitzgerald.“We’ve had so many requests, we are scheduling appointments throughout the week,” Fitzgerald said.
