Your next steps with your new plan:

Fill out your Health Needs Assessment.
It’s a survey where you can share information with us about your health. Your answers are important! They help us learn more about you and how we can better support your health goals.
To complete it online, log in to your member account. You can also complete it by calling 1-866-595-8133 (TTY 711). When you complete it within 30 days of the effective date on your Member ID card, you earn $25 in healthy rewards!
Confirm your PCP.
When you log into your member account, be sure you have a doctor listed on the home screen. This is your PCP. They are the main doctor you will see for yearly wellness check-ups, screenings, vaccinations, and minor illnesses and injuries. You have the freedom to change your PCP at any time.
If the provider listed is the one you want as your PCP, no need to do anything else! If not, you can choose or change your PCP. Login to your member account and click “Change my Primary Care Provider.” You’ll be taken to our online Find a Provider directory. To select a new provider, click the “Make My Primary Care Provider” link under their name.
If you do not have one listed, choose your PCP on the portal, or call us at 1-866-595-8133 (TTY 711). You can also use our Find a Provider tool to search for a provider who is located in your area.
If you’re pregnant, complete a Notification of Pregnancy form.
This is available in your Member Portal. When you complete it, you earn $30 in healthy rewards!
We care about the health of you and your baby, and we want to help support you during and after pregnancy. Learn about our resources for pregnant members.
