MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN)- Upper Peninsula Health Plan, Upper Michigan’s local Medicaid/Medicare health plan, has recently been ranked number one in a survey of patients nationwide.
UPHP is tied with three other health plans across the country.

“It comes directly from our members, which is why it’s so important,” said Holmquist. “Our staff here really deserves all the credit for this rating working directly alongside our providers. We really take our job very seriously. We’re a local organization, we’re taking care of our friends and neighbors. This is important work and we’re very proud of this rating and our continued efforts to put members first.”
