Popis: BACKGROUND: Health risk assessments (HRAs) and healthy behavior incentives are increasingly used by state Medicaid programs to promote enrollees’ health. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate enrollee experiences with HRAs and healthy behavior engagement in the Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP), a state Medicaid expansion program. DESIGN: Telephone survey conducted in Michigan January–October 2016. PARTICIPANTS: A random sample of HMP enrollees aged 19–64 with ≥ 12 months of enrollment, stratified by income and geographic region. MAIN MEASURES: Self-reported completion of an HRA, reasons for completing an HRA, commitment to a healthy behavior, and choice of healthy behavior. KEY RESULTS: Among respondents (N = 4090), 49.3% (95% CI 47.3–51.2%) reported completing an HRA; among those with a primary care provider (PCP) (n = 3851), 85.2% (95% CI 83.5–86.7%) reported visiting their PCP during the last 12 months. Most enrollees having a recent PCP visit reported discussing healthy behaviors with them (91.1%, 95% CI 89.6–92.3%) and were more likely to have completed an HRA than enrollees without a recent PCP visit (52.7%, 95% CI 50.5–52.8% vs. 36.2%, 95% CI 31.7–41.1%; p
