Why Michigan employers are rethinking healthcare benefits
Rising costs, limited access, and growing health needs are changing how organizations design benefits—and why many are turning to advanced primary care.
Across Michigan, traditional healthcare models are becoming harder to rely on. Employees face long wait times, delayed care, and higher out-of-pocket costs, while employers see the downstream impact in absenteeism, productivity loss, and unpredictable claims.
This report breaks down the pressures affecting organizations statewide—and shows how advanced primary care is helping restore timely access, strengthen preventive care, and reduce avoidable high-cost utilization. By focusing on relationships, continuity, and proactive support, employers are improving health outcomes while creating more stable healthcare spend.
What’s driving the shift in Michigan
Escalating complexity
More than 15% of Michiganders live with multiple chronic conditions, from obesity (36.1%) to high blood pressure (37%), adding to an already strained care system.
Ballooning healthcare costs
65% of Michiganders are delaying or skipping care because it’s too expensive, while 76% worry about future expenses as medical costs climb faster than in many other states.
Rising barriers to care
Nearly 2.6 million Michiganders live in federally designated Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs)—leaving many residents without timely support.
