Welcome to MyCare OH Medicaid | Ohio

MyCare Ohio FAQ

A Next Generation MyCare plan from Anthem means you’ll get the same Medicare and Medicaid benefits, plus even more benefits with Anthem. Our plan is focused on:

You and your health needs
Providing a care plan that fits you
Supporting doctors and caregivers
Giving you access to Anthem’s large network of doctors and hospitals
Making care easier to understand
Supporting you with one member ID card and one phone number to better access your coverage

Anthem plans for 2026 will be available in these 29 counties:

Butler	Madison
Clark	Mahoning
Clermont	Medina
Clinton	Montgomery
Columbiana	Ottawa
Cuyahoga	Pickaway
Delaware	Portage
Franklin	Stark
Fulton	Summit
Geauga	Trumbull
Greene	Union
Hamilton	Warren
Lake	Wayne
Lorrain	Wood

Don’t live in one of these counties? No worries! Anthem and Next Generation MyCare are planning to expand to the rest of Ohio later in 2026.

If you already have a MyCare plan through another managed care organization (MCO), you can stay in your current plan until January 2026. If you would like to switch to an Anthem MyCare plan, please call 888-925-1216 (TTY 711), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time.

You may have to select a new Next Generation MyCare plan for 2026. If so, please visit MyCare-Ohio for more information on upcoming MCO changes. If you have questions about the Next Generation MyCare program, contact the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline at ohiomh.com or call 800-324-8680 (TTY 711).

MyCare Ohio Advisory Workgroup

The Ohio Department of Medicaid's MyCare Ohio Advisory Workgroup meets monthly to discuss the Next Generation MyCare program and ways to improve it. Learn more on the Stakeholders & Partners MyCare Ohio page.

Learn more about the current MyCare Ohio program

Visit the Learn More About MyCare Ohio Plans webpage to discover details about the MyCare Ohio program, including the benefits of each managed care plan and enrollment information. You can find resources like the MyCare Ohio: What You Need to Know fact sheet, program overview one-pager, waiver overview one-pager, and a document of frequently asked questions.

To learn what matters to you the most about your needs, we just listen. The Anthem MyCare Member and Family Advisory Council gives members and the community a chance to provide feedback about the health plan. For caregivers, the Caregiver Advisory Committee serves as a platform to share insights and help shape our programming. We encourage you to join the Anthem MyCare Advisory Council/Committee in January 2026 to let us know more about how we are doing.

Two new MyCare Ohio microvideos are available: ODM’s “What is MyCare Ohio?” video gives an overview of eligibility and enrollment, and the “MyCare Ohio program benefits” video informs you about enrollment options and benefits.

For specific information, check the fact sheet that matches your care situation, whether that’s community treatment, developmental disabilities services, or living in a nursing facility.

To learn more about the MyCare Ohio demonstration's effectiveness, review the evaluation reports. If you have questions or feedback on the program, email MyCareConversionQuestions@medicaid.ohio.gov.

ODM held community input sessions for members to share their healthcare experiences, focusing on access to care, member experiences, communications, partner services, and transportation. You can review the presentation from these sessions and provide feedback by emailing the same address if you missed the sessions.
