9 Important things to understand Enrollment in a Bayou Health Plan continues for one year or until the next Open Enrollment period. Participants can change plans within the first 90 days after enrollment (Feb 26 th ). It is possible to change plans for cause after Feb 26th. Key action point: Ensure that current providers are contracted with the Bayou Health plan that you choose Ask your providers Ask Maximus (enrollment broker) LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HOSPITALS9

10 If a participant doesn’t choose… Participants who don’t select a plan will be auto- enrolled in one of the five plans regardless of whether they are currently receiving specialized behavioral health services. Any participant who is currently receiving Medicaid specialized behavioral health services through a provider should be strongly encouraged to: – Ask their providers which plans they are enrolled in. – Ask Bayou Health (the enrollment broker) which plans the providers are enrolled in.

11 Additional Considerations for HCBS Enrollees and Chisholm Class members All plans offer care coordination which can assist with challenges accessing and coordinating services Plans contract with non-Medicaid providers & specialists to ensure access to services Plans have the flexibility to pay for services that Medicaid cannot – Types of medical equipment or supplies not traditionally allowable Each plan offers a set of value added services – All plans offer basic adult dental services – All plans offer some type of adult vision services – Additional items include weight loss support, cash incentives for participating in wellness programs, and even free cell phones – No 12 visit restriction for adults LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HOSPITALS11
