Ohio Medicaid Annual Managed Care Open Enrollment

Date: 11/01/25

Ohio Medicaid‘s annual managed care open enrollment is happening now!

Members who want to change their plan can review choices available and select the plan that best fits your healthcare needs. And though Medicaid plans cover medical, vision, dental, and behavioral health services as required by law, each offers value-added extras to keep you healthy and earn your business.

Taking part in open enrollment lets you learn the differences among each, so you know you’re covered by the health plan that’s best for you.   

If you would like to keep your current managed care plan, you do not have to do anything. If you decide to switch, your new plan will begin covering you on December 1, the first day of the month following your selection. 

While reviewing plans, keep the following in mind:

• Does the plan work with all or most of your doctors?
• Does the plan work with the hospitals you want to use?
• Does the plan offer the extra services you need, such as additional unemployment assistance, access to nutritious foods, education, wellness programs, vision, or dental services?
• Does the plan charge co-pays for dental services, routine eye exams, eyeglasses, mental health, substance use disorder benefits, or non-emergency services provided in a hospital emergency department?

You can explore the managed care plans available and enroll by visiting The Ohio Department of Medicaid website or by contacting the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline at 800-324-8680 (TTY 711). Representatives are available 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Eastern time. They can provide interpreters and answer questions about enrollment and coverage.
