    You’ll get a new member ID card that works for both Medicaid and Medicare. You’ll also have one Member Services phone number to call and one care team to support you.
  3. No action is needed.
    You don’t need to do anything to keep your coverage. Your new plan will start automatically on January 1, 2026. You will get a Welcome Kit and benefit information in the mail closer to this start date.
