The Michigan Oral Health Coalition (MOHC), established in 2003, serves as Michigan's state oral health coalition with a clear purpose:
to improve oral health for all Michiganders. MOHC focuses on prevention, health promotion, oral health data, access to care,
and the vital connection between oral health and overall health.
Over the years, MOHC has collaborated with grassroots organizations, state agencies, and advocacy partners to define and advance Michigan's oral health agenda. Our work centers on building a robust, interconnected network of national, state, and local advocates committed to promoting oral health through advocacy, education, and awareness.
Together, we are shaping policies, empowering communities, and driving initiatives that make oral health equity a reality for everyone in Michigan.
To advocate for policies and resources that connect Michiganders to optimal oral health.
The Michigan Oral Health Coalition (MOHC) takes public policy positions on policy matters, including legislative items and regulations promulgated at the local, state or federal level. All public policy positions must be consistent with and in furtherance of MOHC’s mission and vision.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) recently released a proposed Medicaid policy stemming from H.R. 1. This proposed policy makes changes to existing Medicaid policy to prohibit certain non-citizens from being eligible for Medicaid starting October 1, 2026.
We await additional information from MDHHS as The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently release an Interim Final Rule requiring that certain adult Medicaid applicants and enrollees must meet an 8- hour per month work requirement. Additional information from CMS can be found here.
A proposed federal rule could significantly affect access to adult dental care through Affordable Care Act marketplace plans. The 2027 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters proposes reinstating a prohibition on including routine adult dental services as an Essential Health Benefit (EHB), which could limit states’ ability to expand adult dental coverage beginning in 2027.
MOHC, in partnership with MDHHS and statewide stakeholders, has launched the 2030 Michigan State Oral Health Plan, a collaborative strategy to expand access to care, strengthen the workforce, and advance prevention efforts across Michigan through 2030.
