Identify the plan, product, and transaction first
Michigan Medicaid does not mean one interchangeable health-plan payer ID. MDHHS maintains plan and service-area resources; use those alongside service-date coverage. This selected-plan reference was checked October 9, 2026. Our recommended EDI worksheet records the responsible payer, Medicaid product, transaction, clearinghouse, and supporting source before changing a route.

Meridian Medicaid Michigan: MHPMI
Meridian’s billing page lists MHPMI for Meridian Medicaid Michigan dates of service on or after April 1, 2022. Its electronic claims section covers professional and facility claims and says payer IDs are not interchangeable. Follow its member-card instruction when checking the product rather than importing an ID from another Meridian line of business.

McLaren Medicaid and Healthy Michigan: 3833C
McLaren’s billing page lists 3833C for Medicaid/Healthy Michigan in its Optum EDI table. The same table lists 38338 for commercial HMO claims. Keep those products distinct when selecting the destination in your clearinghouse. Our recommendation is to retain the product label beside the ID in the payer setup record.

HAP CareSource Michigan Medicaid: MIMCDCS1
HAP CareSource’s Michigan Medicaid provider contact page lists MIMCDCS1 for EDI and directs providers to their clearinghouse for setup. Confirm that your clearinghouse maps its payer selection to this Medicaid destination before using it for a claim.

Upper Peninsula Health Plan: 38337
UPHP’s 2026 provider manual identifies National Electronic Insurance Code 38337 in its electronic claims instructions. Our recommendation is to verify the member’s exact UPHP product and intended transaction with the plan or clearinghouse before using a saved payer entry. A familiar plan name alone is insufficient routing evidence.

UnitedHealthcare: resolve conflicting manual entries
The 2026 Michigan Community Plan manual lists 95467 in its key-contacts claims table, while its electronic-claims chapter also states 87726. Because those entries differ, this guide does not choose a universal UHC destination. Ask the plan and clearinghouse to confirm the exact Michigan product and claim transaction before changing an existing route.

Blue Cross Complete ERA uses a separate setup
Blue Cross Complete’s electronic remittance instructions list Change Healthcare payer ID 32002 and ECHO Health payer ID 58379 for ERA setup. These are presented here as remittance instructions, not as a claim-routing recommendation. Do not copy an ERA enrollment ID into a professional claim merely because it appears on the same provider site.

For state FFS, use the relevant companion guide
MDHHS publishes separate 837 professional, institutional, dental, and 835 companion guides. Use the appropriate state transaction instructions and your clearinghouse’s confirmed mapping. This page is a selected-plan reference, not a complete directory; it deliberately omits unsourced IDs for other plans and a universal Michigan Medicaid ID.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Meridian Michigan Medicaid payer ID?
The current billing page lists MHPMI for dates of service on or after April 1, 2022; verify the member’s product.
Is McLaren 38338 the Medicaid ID?
McLaren’s table identifies 3833C for Medicaid/Healthy Michigan and 38338 for commercial HMO.
Can I use an ERA enrollment ID to submit claims?
Do not assume that. Confirm the transaction and clearinghouse mapping; Blue Cross Complete’s cited IDs are from its ERA instructions.
