Information Memo: Illinois Health Connect Client Enrollment Materials

Summary:

Implementation of mandatory participation in Illinois Health Connect for clients required to choose a Primary Care Provider (PCP) has begun.
In the Voluntary Managed Care (VMC) Counties, HFS has contracted with Automated Health Systems (AHS) to be the Illinois Client Enrollment Broker (ICEB).
Enrollment and choice education materials were mailed to eligible clients who must choose a PCP, that began February 2007.
Enrollment and choice education materials explain the client's health care choices, how to pick a PCP, the timeframe for making their health care choices, and how to enroll.
Clients are able to enroll through Illinois Health Connect or the Illinois Client Enrollment Broker online, by phone, by mail or by contacting an AHS representative at certain FCRCs.
If eligible clients do not pick a PCP, they will be assigned to a PCP and health plan, if applicable.
