Next Gen MyCare Advisory Council Shares Resources for Members, Providers; Buckeye Health No Longer a Plan Option
During the September 5, 2025, MyCare Advisory Workgroup meeting, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) shared information on benefits, changes and impacts for members and providers. Importantly, ODM also shared that Buckeye Health Plan will remain a plan choice for its existing geography, but will not be permitted to expand to other MyCare counties or statewide in 2026 due to not meeting the readiness review requirements. If an individual gets care through Buckeye Health plan today and wants to keep their plan, no action will be required. This leaves three Next Generation MyCare plans that will be available in historically MyCare counties beginning on January 1, 2026, and then statewide later in the year:
Provider networks will need to secure contracts with these three MyCare Ohio plans in order to continue serving consumers.
Questions about Next Generation MyCare can be directed to the MyCare Ohio webpage.
