Important Information from Ohio’s Medicaid Managed Care Plans:
As Ohio continues to grapple with the COVID-19 crisis, we are working hard to ensure our most vulnerable citizens maintain reliable access to food resources.
To that end, Ohio’s five Medicaid Managed Care Plans (Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, Molina Healthcare, Paramount Advantage, and United Heathcare Community Plan) provide our members with no-cost transportation services to and from food banks, food pantries, food clinics, and grocery stores as part of their plan benefit.
This transportation service is essential to many of our members. We need your help to tell our members about this service; and encourage members to contact their respective health plan to get the transportation services they need.
Each health plan continues to do everything possible to tell our members about their transportation benefit and how to use it. One of the key connections we share with our members is our strong relationship with you — our valued community partners.
With your help and support in promoting the transportation benefit to our members, we can improve their access to healthy food, and ultimately improve their health and well-being. By undertaking this united effort on behalf of every Ohio member, we can help get food on the table for Ohioans in need during this unprecedented health crisis.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to anyone on this list if you have questions or need additional information. As our partners in service, you are crucial to the health and safety of Ohio’s Medicaid members. Thank you for helping us help our members!
