Ohio Medicaid - Diabetes Assistance Programs in Ohio

Ohio’s Medicaid program provides health care coverage to children, pregnant women, families, seniors and people with disabilities who have limited income. Many of the people served by Medicaid obtain medical care at no cost, however, some must pay monthly premiums or co-payments for certain services. Once enrolled, Medicaid consumers gain coverage for doctor visits, hospital care, well-child visits, home health, long-term care and more. The ODJFS Office of Ohio Health Plans is responsible for administering Ohio’s Medicaid program.

Applications are available at http://jfs.ohio.gov/OHP/consumers/Application.stm or by calling the Medicaid Consumer Hotline at 1-800-324-8680/TDD 1-800-292-3572. Applications are also available at the local county departments of job and family services.
