How Medicare Works in Michigan
Original Medicare — Parts A and B — is a federal program administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The same basic rules apply in every state. But the private Medicare plans available to you — Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D prescription drug plans — can vary significantly by state, county, ZIP code, carrier, provider network, pharmacy, and prescription drug list.
That means the right Medicare plan for someone in Michigan may look very different from someone in another state, or even a neighboring county. Working with an independent agent who knows the local landscape makes a meaningful difference.
Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, and hospice. Part B covers outpatient services, doctor visits, and preventive care.
Together, Parts A and B form the foundation of Medicare coverage. Most people do not pay a premium for Part A if they or a spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years.
After Original Medicare, Michigan beneficiaries typically choose one of two approaches:
Which path is better depends on your doctors, medications, budget, and health needs. We help you compare both.
Plan Options in Michigan
CMS approves private Medicare plans at the county level — not statewide. That means plan availability, premiums, networks, and benefits vary by where you live in Michigan. Below is an overview of each coverage type.
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers approved by CMS. They bundle Part A and Part B coverage — and often Part D drug coverage — into a single plan. Many plans include extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing.
Availability, premiums, cost-sharing, provider networks, and drug formularies vary by county and ZIP code in Michigan. Before enrolling, it is important to verify that your doctors and preferred hospitals are in-network — because networks change every plan year.
Carriers commonly available in Michigan:
Medigap policies are sold by private insurers and work alongside Original Medicare. They help pay some out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
Medigap plans are standardized by CMS — Plan G in Michigan covers the same benefits as Plan G in any other state. However, premiums vary by age, tobacco status, gender, county, ZIP code, and carrier. Plan G and Plan N are frequently compared by new Medicare beneficiaries, but neither is automatically better for everyone. Avoid making coverage decisions based on price alone.
Medicare Part D plans cover prescription drugs and are sold by private insurers. Formularies (covered drug lists), preferred pharmacies, deductibles, premiums, and drug tier copays all vary by plan — and the right plan for you depends on which medications you take and where you fill them.
Part D plans in Michigan change every year. A plan that covered your drugs well this year may not be the most cost-effective option next year. Annual plan comparisons during Open Enrollment (October 15 – December 7) are worth doing.

Why Local Help Matters
National call centers do not know whether your specific doctor is in-network in your ZIP code. They do not know which hospital systems operate in your county, which pharmacies are preferred, or which carriers have historically had strong customer service in Michigan. A local independent agent does.
Lehigh Partners Senior Benefits is an independent Medicare insurance agency. We are not captive to any single carrier — we compare options from multiple carriers to help you find coverage that fits your doctors, medications, and budget.
Lehigh Partners Senior Benefits currently represents a number of organizations which offer Medicare products in Michigan. To see all available options, you may also contact Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or contact your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
