2026 Map of Next Generation MyCare Counties coming soon.....
Buckeye is pleased to be one of the four managed care plans chosen by the Ohio Department of Medicaid to participate in the NextGen MyCare Program beginning January 1, 2026.
The 2026 Wellcare By Buckeye Health Plan – Next Generation MyCare Program, aligning Medicare and Medicaid coverage, is designed to simplify care coordination while strengthening access to behavioral health services, transportation and more. Buckeye’s goal is to help members navigate care more easily and maintain their health and independence.

Get ready – on April 1 the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is expanding its roll out of the Next Generation MyCare program. Phase 2 includes Sandusky, Erie, Henry, Williams, Defiance, Paulding, Fayette, Fairfield, Licking, and Ashtabula counties. As part of the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s (ODM) effort to prepare providers, we are hosting a series of webinars from March through August. These webinars will have sessions specific to the Ohio Department of Aging (AGE) providers and all other provider types to share information about the program, what it means for them, and steps they may need to take ahead of the program roll out. ODM encourages providers in Phase 2 counties to join.
You will find the webinars on the Ohio Department of Medicaid website.
