myHealthPortal web portal

The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and CNSI launched a mobile app myHealthButton (myHB), and online portal, myHealthPortal (myHP), to promote connectivity between patients and providers. These applications allow patients to access their medical information remotely in a real-time environment. CNSI partnered with the Bureau of Medicaid Operations within MDCH’s Medical Services Administration to design, build and develop this first-of-its-kind Medicaid technology.

Both myHB and myHP put health care benefits and services directly into the hands of the Michigan Medicaid population served by the MDCH.“As we work with our residents to promote better self-awareness and responsibility for their health status, these tools allow users to easily access and track important health measures right on their smartphones,” said Nick Lyon, director of the MDCH.

Both myHB and myHP put health care benefits and services directly into the hands of the Michigan Medicaid population served by the MDCH. By using a connected infrastructure, health care companies are able to more efficiently gather and organize data in order to produce more informed decisions and diagnoses for patients along with better quality care.

Feature wise, these apps give members access to a variety of important features, including digital images of their mihealth cards, provider search capabilities, and authorized diagnoses and provider listings for Children’s Special Health Care Service beneficiaries. Both applications are available for Apple and Android mobile devices through the App Store and Google Play, respectively. Before accessing them, users must first register at milogin.michigan.gov.
