Medicaid Managed Care acts just like regular private health insurance for individuals enrolled in the Ohio Medicaid program.

In Ohio, most people approved for Medicaid are automatically enrolled for Medicaid Managed Care coverage. Shortly after enrolling in Medicaid, individuals get a letter asking them to choose a Medicaid Managed Care Plan (MCP). Once enrolled with a MCP, the plan sends a permanent card for use when seeking services from providers as well as information about the scope of coverage of the plan.
