Opting In and Out
Molina Dual Options MyCare Ohio is a part of MyCare Ohio, a program that helps to improve the way your Medicaid and Medicare benefits work together.
If you are eligible for MyCare Ohio, you will become enrolled in a managed care plan that will provide both your Medicaid and Medicare benefits. You have the right to choose the health plan that is right for you. However, if you do not choose a plan, one will be chosen for you.
How to Enroll
You will receive a letter from the Ohio Department of Medicaid notifying you that you are eligible for MyCare Ohio. You can call the Ohio Medicaid Hotline to make your managed care plan selection at (800) 324-8680 or for hearing impaired TTY (800) 292-3572.
You can also visit the enrollment website at www.ohiomh.com.
Representatives are available from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Do I Have to Participate in MyCare Ohio?
If you do not wish to receive your Medicare benefits from the MyCare Ohio plan, tell a representative when you call the Ohio Medicaid Hotline. You will continue to receive your Medicare benefits the same way you do today.
You will still be enrolled in a managed care plan for your Medicaid benefits. We call this plan Molina MyCare Ohio Medicaid. If you do not select a managed care plan, one will be chosen for you.
Think carefully about choosing not to participate in MyCare Ohio. As an opt-in member of Molina Dual Options, you get extra benefits. These include transportation and an allowance to spend on over-the-counter items. Also, the program is designed to make coordination between your Medicaid and Medicare benefits easier for you, your family and your health care providers.
