Ohio Medicaid lets you choose the managed care plan that is right for you and your family. Read more about managed care or view detailed dashboards and report cards for each plan.
If you want to change your plan you can review choices available and select the one that best fits your healthcare needs. While all Medicaid health plans cover medical, vision, dental, and behavioral health services as required by law, each offers value-added extras to keep you healthy and earn your business. Taking part in open enrollment lets you learn the differences between each, so you know you’re covered by the health plan that’s best for you.
If you would like to keep your current managed care health plan, you do not have to do anything. If you decide to switch, your new plan will begin covering you December 1, the first day of the month following your selection. [L2.1]
While reviewing plans, check to see:
Which plan works with all or most of your doctors.
Which plan works with the hospitals or clinics you prefer.
Which plan offers a special service you need, such as additional unemployment assistance, access to nutritious foods, education, or wellness programs, or covers an extra dental visit or pair of eyeglasses.
If you’ll have to cover any fees or co-pays for dental services, routine eye exams, eyeglasses, mental health, substance use disorder benefits, or non-emergency services provided in a hospital emergency department.
