💡 Medicaid vs. Your Medicaid Health Plan: What’s the Difference?
🩺 Medicaid is the government health coverage program that helps eligible individuals and families access care.
🏥 Your Medicaid health plan may be a private insurance company that manages your child’s benefits and has its own network of providers.
Why does this matter?
Your child can remain enrolled in Medicaid even if their health plan changes. And because provider networks can differ from one plan to another, a provider that accepts one plan may not accept another. As you review your child’s coverage, make sure you know which Medicaid health plan they have and whether their providers are in-network.
✨ Remember: Medicaid provides the coverage, but your child’s specific health plan can affect which providers they can see.
