Medicaid and WIC

Medicaid

Medicaid is a program that provides health care services to individuals that meet the requirements for income, resources and citizenship. Individuals may apply for Medicaid at any local DFCS office, by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail, or at designated agencies.

This year you must choose a health plan because there has been a new carrier added. Open enrollment is March 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. If you want to keep your same plan you must choose it by March 31, 2017, or a new plan may be assigned to you.
