-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ohio Medicaid’s annual open enrollment ends November 30. We encourage members to review the managed care plans available and select the one that best fits their healthcare needs. They do not have to do anything if they want to keep their current managed care plan. Plan selections will take effect December 1.
Taking part in annual open enrollment allows members to focus on their family’s well-being. While reviewing plans, encourage members to keep the following in mind:
- Which plan communicates the way that is best for them and their family?
- What plan makes it easy for them and their family to make and keep appointments?
- Which plan supports them and their family’s health conditions or health goals?
