Medical Card

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services has transitioned from issuing monthly medical cards to annual paper medical cards. All currently eligible Medical Program clients should have received, in the mail, a new paper medical card along with an instructional brochure. The next time another paper medical card will be issued will be after the client’s annual redetermination. Clients are advised to keep their medical card and notices they receive regarding their eligibility. Medical providers will be required to check eligibility when providing services. Visit the links to your right to view the new medical card and informational brochure.
