What services does the Detroit Wayne County Health Authority provide?
  • Extensive Medicaid enrollment. There are more than 30 different options within the Medicaid program that cover health care services. The Health Authority is empowered by the Interlocal agreement between the City of Detroit, Wayne County, and State of Michigan Department of Community Health to manage and improve the viability and effectiveness of the health care safety net in the Detroit- Wayne County region. Through this agreement, the Health Authority maintains close contact with Michigan Medicaid officials and changing regulations, contracts with health systems and with other organizations to provide Medicaid enrollment services, reducing the numbers of uninsured people.  Also, the Health Authority works at community events, informing people about options within the Medicaid program.
  • Coordinate and develop community health services. Through the Provider Advisory Committee and Primary Care Network Council , the Health Authority promotes communication and collaboration between community health centers and clinics, development of new centers, and leverages relationships to promote access to services like discount pharmacy for those who are underinsured. The Health Authority undertakes projects to resolve community issues, such as the East Side Initiative, which helps coordinate services on Detroit’s east side following the closure of Detroit Riverview Hospital. The Health Authority also works with hospital emergency departments to develop alternatives for people who use emergency services as their primary care resource.
