HealthChoice Enrollment

A health plan is a group of doctors (or clinics) that may also include hospitals and other medical staff. Health plans offer the same benefits as regular Medicaid, but also offer extra services that may help you and your family get better care. Some plans offer vision and dental care, and all plans help with managing diseases, like diabetes and high blood pressure. They also have a nurse help line you can call any time with health care questions.

Look at the Health Plan Comparison Chart. This chart shows you which plans you can choose from and what benefits and services they provide.

You can also view the chart that came in your Welcome Packet.

If you have questions or need help, call our Customer Service Center at 1-877-552-4642.

Choosing a health plan and a doctor for each member of your family in the program is as easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how:

Step 1: Think about your family’s health needs.
To start, think about and write down:

• The doctors you want to see.
• Do you have a doctor you and your family already like? Or is having a doctor close to where you live or work more important?
• You can search for a doctor by name, distance, or specialty (such as pediatrics) by clicking here.
• Which hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies you want to use.
• Do you want them to be close to your home, your job, or your kids’ school?
• Other services or benefits that you need.
• Do you or your family members have special health conditions? If so, choose a health plan that lets you keep getting treatment. Special health conditions include asthma, diabetes, pregnancy care, mental health services, and physical therapy.

• Click here to compare the services each health plan offers and to find out which plans work with the doctors, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies you want to use.
• Choose a plan that lets you go to the doctors and clinics you want, and gives you the services you need.
• Each person in your family can have a different health plan, but it’s easier to have the same plan for everyone.
