Get Prepared Now for 2026 Program Implementation with Provider Resources

The Ohio Department of Medicaid is implementing its Next Generation MyCare program Jan. 1, 2026, in the 29 counties where MyCare Ohio is available today. Those counties are located in Ohio’s large urban areas.

Later in 2026, the program will be available in the rest of Ohio.

In preparation for the program launch, ODM is providing a series of provider resources and information on where more help is available.

• The Next Generation MyCare Overview One-Pager helps stakeholders understand what the Next Generation MyCare program is, who it serves, and where to go for more information.
• The Next Generation MyCare Provider Help Desk One-Pager shares contact information by topic in one place, so providers know who to contact when they have questions or need help.
• The Next Generation MyCare Provider FAQ answers the most common questions from providers about the current and Next Generation MyCare program.
• The Next Generation MyCare Member ID Card One-Pager provides an overview of the card template. All MyCare Ohio members will receive a new Next Generation member identification card that will be used at their appointments.
