What You Need to Know About Cleveland Clinic and CareSource Possibly Terminating Their Contract
from Gesher – The Cleveland Benefits and Resource Center
Cleveland Clinic and CareSource Could Terminate Their Contract – What you need to know
If you are eligible for Medicaid, and Caresource is your Managed Care provider (MCP), you may have received a letter stating that The Cleveland Clinic and CareSource will be terminating their contract as of September 1st.
Gesher would like to remind you about the following:
- We are still hopeful that Clinic & CareSource will reach an agreement before September 1st. Both parties have expressed hope that they will come to an agreement. CareSource was legally obligated to send out those letters to their members, but it does not mean that this is final.
- Open enrollment is NOW OPEN
open in Novemberwhere you can change to another MCP. There are other plans which the Clinic will take. Call 800 324 8680 ext. 4 to switch. See the ratings for Medicaid Providers here. - Anyone who is in a course of treatment at the Clinic like chemotherapy (see letter below for more details and examples) will be able to continue to receive care at the Clinic for another 90 days after the contract ends.
- If you decide you want to change MCPs not during open enrollment you may be able to change your MCP as long as Medicaid agrees you have just cause.

Ohio launches website to help enroll applicants for newly expanded Medicaid program
(Plain Dealer)
The state opened registration Monday for people who beginning in January can get health insurance through an expanded Medicaid program.
Registration is through a new website officials hope most people will use to get enrolled.
The website, Benefits.ohio.gov, asks users a series of questions to determine if they are eligible for Medicaid under the new regulations, and helps them enroll if they are. If they are not eligible, it also provides a link to the federal insurance exchange site, Healthcare.gov.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA or “Obamacare”)
(Ed: This article provides a useful list of resources as well as link to local informational seminars. Time will prove whether or not the ACA will be able to help community members to obtain affordable insurance, but it is certainly worth the uninsured taking the time to research the options. Many have reported that popular web sites are down to the huge demand with the opening of the program so recently.)
(Source: CH-UH Library Resources)
The Affordable Care Act includes sweeping changes and a number of options in healthcare coverage. Ohio has chosen to use the federal exchange for health insurance. The federal exchange is located online at Healthcare.gov.
The federal exchange will open October 1, 2013. If an individual wishes their health insurance to begin January 1, 2014, they must enroll by mid-December. Open Enrollment will close March 31, 2014.
