Beginning February 1, 2010, Ohio Medicaid consumers will no longer use their Managed Care Provider (MCP) card to obtain prescription drugs and some prescription medical supplies. A new Medicaid member identification card will be provided to you by your MCP to be used instead. Your new card lets pharmacies know that Ohio Medicaid will pay for your prescriptions. You should contact your MCP if you do not receive your card by January 31, 2010.
For more information about you prescription drug benefit contact the Medicaid Consumer Hotline at (800) 324-8680 or TTY (800) 292-3572. The hotline is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
