Starting February 1, 2007, Medicaid recipients will be required to be enrolled in one of the new Medicaid Health Care Plans to receive their Medicaid Benefits. <\/p>\n
Enrollment in STAR+Plus is required for Medicaid recipients who live in the STAR+Plus Service area and are one or more of the following:<\/p>\n
* People who have a physical or mental disability and qualify for supplemental security income (SSI) benefits or for Medicaid due to low income.
\n* People who qualify for Community-Based Alternative 1915(c) waiver services.
\n* People age 21 or older who can receive Medicaid because they are in a Social Security Exclusion program and meet financial criteria for 1915(c) waiver services.
\n* People ages 21 or older who are receiving supplemental security incomes. <\/p>\n
The Star+Plus service area is the following counties: Bexar, Medina, Atascosa, Wilson, Comal, Guadalupe, and Kendall. The Medicaid recipient will have 3 health care plans to choose from: Amerigroup, Superior, and Molina Health Care. If the Medicaid recipient does not make a choice by completing the enrollment packet, then they will be \u2018auto-enrolled\u2019 to one of the health care plans.<\/p>\n
This information and more is being provided at the Star+Plus information events. The purpose of these events is to provide information to the Medicaid recipient and\/or their family in order to assist them in learning about Star+Plus, how to enroll, and how this affects their benefits and services. <\/p>\n
Those individuals who are deaf\/hearing impaired and are a Medicaid recipient should be encouraged to attend; although anyone is welcomed.<\/p>\n
