Ohio Medicaid Member News, formerly known as the ODM Periodical, is a short, periodic email update on the progress of the ODM strategic initiatives for individuals who receive services through Ohio Medicaid.


In This Issue:


Annual open enrollment has concluded – make sure you have the correct member ID card.

Ohio Medicaid’s annual open enrollment ended November 30. If you did not select a new plan, your healthcare coverage did not change, and you continue receiving services through the same plan you selected previously. If you selected a new plan during open enrollment, you should receive a member ID card in the coming weeks, if you have not already. Your member ID card includes the name and contact information for  your plan and your pharmacy benefit information. If you or the child you care for are enrolled in the OhioRISE program you will see “OhioRISE” on the card as well. Keep reading for additional information about the member ID card.
