Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

Michigan Children’s Special Health Care Services pays authorized treatment related to a qualifying diagnosis and may help with transportation or family lodging when care is away from home. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is explicitly listed as an eligible diagnosis. A Michigan family applies through its local CSHCS office and the child’s specialist submits recent medical documentation; household income does not determine medical eligibility, although a sliding annual fee may apply unless waived.
