For Individuals

Ohio is finding new ways to support the health and wellness of its citizens. As a result, your Medicaid coverage may be changing.

New services may be available to you if you have high intensity needs. These services will support you in meeting your recovery goals.

A health care provider may contact you to help you understand these changes and determine your eligibility for new services. Here, we provide you with important information on this process.
