Ohio Medicaid Open Enrollment Nov 1st – Nov 30th

Medicaid enrollment is now open and runs from November 1st through November 30th. Those who are seeking to enroll in Medicaid or current enrollees who are seeking to change their current plan must complete their enrollment during this period. Alternately, if you would like to stay with your current health plan, no action is needed for open enrollment.

The Ohio Department has released their 2025 Managed Care Health Plan Comparison Guide that Medicaid customers can review and select a new plan.  If current members decide to select a new plan, their new coverage will begin on the first day of the month following their selection. If a member makes a new plan selection in November, coverage under the new managed care plan will begin on December 1st.  Alternately, coverage for new enrollees will take effect on January 1st, 2025.

Members can select a new plan by using the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline Portal at www.ohiomh.com or by calling the Hotline at 800-324-8680 (TTY 711). Representatives are available 7 am-8 pm Monday through Friday and Saturdays 8 am-5pm.
