MI 2027 HB Card ImageGet $205 each month on your Healthy Benefits+ card.

What Can I Buy with my Healthy Benefits+ card?

The Healthy Benefits+ card gives members $205 each month. Use it to buy eligible items, services, and accessories at approved locations.

For members with Special Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill (SSBCI)

Members that qualify for SSBCI benefits may also use their Healthy Benefits+ card to pay for eligible food and utilities. For more information on how to qualify, visit our SSBCI page.

Where Can I Use My Card?

A full list of covered items and stores can be found at www.HealthyBenefitsPlus.com/MICH. Some participating stores are:

  • CVS
  • Dollar General
  • Kroger
  • Meijer
  • Walmart

When you shop online, you may need to spend a minimum amount to get free shipping. Taxes do not count toward the minimum.

* Those with one or more listed conditions may qualify for the Healthy Benefits+ allowance for these additional items and services. To learn if you qualify, talk to your Care Coordinator.

How does it work?

You will get the card in the mail. It will arrive about 2-3 weeks before your coverage start date. If you don’t use the whole $205 during the month, it will roll over! These funds won’t expire until the end of the year.

The card will come with steps to set it up and use it.

Make The Most Of Your Healthy Benefits+ Card

  • Use this card for your My HAP CareSource Rewards.****
  • When you buy something, money comes out of your most restricted allowance first. For example, if you buy something that qualifies for rewards but not over-the-counter, the money will automatically come out of your rewards balance.
  • If you don’t use the full amount each month, it will roll over! That means these funds won’t expire until December 31, 2027.

Special Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill (SSBCI)

SSBCI benefits are available to members with certain chronic conditions that meet specific criteria set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The benefits are designed to help improve or maintain your overall health and/or ability to function. CMS requires us to verify your eligibility before you can get these benefits.  

Having one of the SSBCI conditions alone does not mean you automatically qualify. We will review your eligibility. If you qualify, we will let you know. If we are unable to confirm that you qualify, these benefits will not be available.

Learn more on our SSBCI page.

Healthy Benefits+ prepaid Mastercard funds can be used for eligible items at participating locations. Certain restrictions apply. 

*The benefits mentioned are Special Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill (SSBCI). You may qualify for SSBCI if you are at high risk for hospitalization and require intensive care coordination to manage one or more chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, overweight/obesity/metabolic syndrome, chronic and disabling mental health conditions or neurologic disorders. For a full list of qualifying chronic conditions or to learn more about other eligibility requirements for SSBCI, please contact Member Services or your Care Coordinator.
