Major Michigan hospitals & health systems
Michigan health care spans major systems such as Corewell Health (formerly Beaumont and Spectrum Health) (Grand Rapids), University of Michigan Health (Michigan Medicine) (Ann Arbor), Henry Ford Health (Detroit), Trinity Health Michigan (Saint Joseph Mercy Health System) (Ann Arbor).

The Michigan healthcare landscape
- Michigan's hospital care is dominated by several large integrated systems, including Corewell Health, University of Michigan Health, Henry Ford Health, Trinity Health Michigan, and McLaren Health Care, which together operate across both metropolitan and rural regions.
- The state expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act through the Healthy Michigan Plan, broadening coverage for low-income adults and increasing the share of Medicaid-covered patients in many practices.
- Independent and rural practices in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula serve geographically dispersed populations and rely heavily on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
- Several Michigan health systems operate their own health plans, such as Health Alliance Plan, Priority Health, and McLaren Health Plan, creating an environment where providers frequently contract with payers tied to competing delivery systems.

How does Michigan not expanding Medicaid affect our billing?
Michigan has not expanded Medicaid and has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, so practices see more self-pay and charity-care work — making clean coding and clear patient billing especially important.
Can FYNQ work with our existing EHR or practice-management system?
Yes. We work inside your current system, so your Michigan practice does not have to switch software to start eligibility & prior authorizations.
Is FYNQ HIPAA-aware and U.S.-based?
Yes. FYNQ uses HIPAA-aware workflows and is U.S.-based, with offices in Houston, TX and Little Rock, AR. Our public website never collects patient health information.
Does Michigan's balance-billing law (SB 1264) affect out-of-network billing?
Yes. Michigan's SB 1264 protections, layered with the federal No Surprises Act, make out-of-network billing and patient cost estimates more complex — an area our team handles directly.
Does FYNQ guarantee a specific clean-claim rate or revenue increase?
No. FYNQ never guarantees specific revenue or collection results. We focus on the process — clean claims, worked denials, and clear reporting — designed to improve billing performance over time.
