Ohio Medicaid Annual Open Enrollment
Date: 11/01/24
Columbus, OH
Ohio Medicaid’s annual open enrollment is happening now through November 30! Members are encouraged to review the managed care plans available and select the one that best fits your healthcare needs.
If you would like to keep your current managed care plan, you don’t have to do anything.
If you decide to switch, coverage by your newly selected plan begins the first day of the following month. For example, if you select a new plan in November and its coverage begins December 1.
Taking part in annual open enrollment allows you to focus on you and your family’s well-being. While reviewing plans, keep the following in mind:
- Which plan works with all or most of your doctors?
- Which plan works with the hospitals you want to use?
- Which plan offers the extra services you need, such as additional unemployment assistance, access to nutritious foods, education, wellness programs, vision, or dental services?
- Will you have to pay 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?
You can explore the managed care plans available and enroll by visiting the Ohio Department of Medicaid website. or by contacting the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline at 800-324-8680 (TTY 711).
