CEO of Health Alliance Plan. About a month ahead of the #MPC21 HAP expanded its services into the Lansing/Mid-Michigan area, joining forces with MSU to educate MSU alumni and other Medicare-eligible individuals in the Mid-Michigan area about HMO and PPO insurance products this fall as an early outcome, of the first, of the new 30-year partnership between Henry Ford Health System and Michigan State University. HAP is an integrated insurer in HFHS, including Allegiance in Jackson. The Henry Ford/MSU agreement is designed to facilitate and support ground-breaking research; provide best-in-class cancer care; expand training and diversity among the next generation of health care professionals, and address health care disparities in traditionally underserved communities.
- This MSU/HAP partnership and HAP expansion is a natural outgrowth of HAP’s successful expansion in Jackson, as well as West MI, SW MI, Kzoo, and Battle Creek.
- The HAP/MSU Health Care partnership will extend HAP’s reach to approximately 100,000 eligible seniors, many still living in the Mid-Michigan vicinity. This includes a portion of the more than 270,000 MSU alumni based in the state of Michigan.

About Health Alliance Plan of Michigan
A trusted health care partner for more than 50 years
HAP is a Michigan-based, nonprofit health plan that provides health coverage to individuals, companies, and organizations. We partner with doctors, employers, and community groups to enhance the overall health and well-being of the lives we touch. With more than 1,100 dedicated and passionate employees, our goal is to make health care easy for our members. From the way we help answer their questions, to the extensive list of doctors and hospitals we work with, to all of the valuable benefits we include in our plans, our members are at the heart of all that we do.
Our members know they can count on us for:
- Quality, accredited health care. Since 1993, we’ve been annually recognized as an industry leader in clinical performance and consumer experience by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
- Personal service. Our members are supported by award-winning customer service. We’re real people here to answer questions, provide guidance and take care of any concerns.
- An extensive provider network. Our ever-expanding network includes thousands of doctors. Our HMO service area reaches 24 Michigan counties, and our PPO network offers providers throughout the entire state. And best of all, we don’t require referrals for most services. Additionally, our strategic partnerships offer national and statewide networks for Michigan-based companies with members living outside the state.
- Award-winning programs. We’re known for our leading preventive services and disease management and wellness programs. We cover cancer screenings, physicals, flu shots, and more. And our Restore Caretrack® program offers personalized services to help manage chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma.
- Innovative tools and services. We find helpful ways for our members to better manage their plan benefits and health goals.
- Our Health Care Cost Estimator, an online tool, quickly compares costs from different doctors and hospitals to allow members to make informed decisions about their treatments and spending.
- Our telehealth services provide 24/7 access to a doctor or other medical professional to help with common issues like colds, flu, or infections.
- Integrated care coverage. Our network includes most major hospitals throughout Michigan, including those in the Henry Ford Health System. And, because we are a subsidiary of Henry Ford, our members who are Henry Ford patients enjoy the benefits of seamless integrated coverage and care. This includes things like access to MyChart, which allows you to schedule doctor visits, request prescription refills, check lab results, and more.
- Fiscal responsibility. We take this seriously. We work hard to explain the complex health care system to our members so they better understand how to spend their health care dollars wisely and pick the plan that’s best for them. We’re fiscally responsible to them. Ninety percent of our premium revenue is spent on funding health care services for our members.
