In-Reach by Ohio’s Medicaid Managed Care Plans. Ohio enrolls eligible inmates into Medicaid approximately 90 days prior to their release and has them select a Medicaid managed care plan. As required in their contracts, each of Ohio’s five plans then conducts in-reach with inmates to assess needs and identify a primary care provider.13 All inmates who are enrolled must receive some level of care coordination; for inmates with a serious illness, the plans conduct a prerelease assessment, establish a care plan, and set up provider appointments for after release.
Incarcerated and Recently Released Healthcare Consumers
If you’re incarcerated you can use the Marketplace to apply for Medicaid coverage in your state. Medicaid won’t pay for your medical care while you’re in prison or jail. But if you enroll in Medicaid while you’re incarcerated you may be able to get needed care more quickly after you’re released.
There are 3 ways to apply for Medicaid:
Online, at either HealthCare.gov or your state’s Marketplace website. (Get a checklist that will help you gather needed information before you apply (PDF).)
With a Marketplace paper application (PDF) that you fill out and mail in.
Directly through your state Medicaid office. Use the “Get state information” dropdown menu on this Medicaid page to get contact information for your state Medicaid office.
