FLASH: We Will Discontinue Medicaid-Only Coverage at End of 2016

Health Alliance has notified the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) of its desire to terminate its contracts for Medicaid Managed Care services effective December 31, 2016. This contract termination does not affect our Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plans or any commercial lines of business.

The termination of our Medicaid Managed Care contract will not require any change to our provider agreements. You will remain contracted to provide services to our Medicaid members, but there will be no members to serve after December 31, 2016, except for any necessary continuity of care plans.

Affected members will receive information about their options in the coming months. In addition, updates will be forthcoming as we work through the transition process with HFS.
