Washington County Hospital & Medical Group is Participating in the New Illinois Medicaid Managed Care Plans
The Washington County Hospital & Medical Group (WCH) have contracted with several of the State of Illinois Medicaid Managed Care Plans and are accepting new patients. WCH and all our providers in the Medical Group are currently able to accept Harmony Health Plan (Wellcare), Blue Cross Community Health Plan, Meridian Health Plan, & Molina Healthcare.
We understand that, because of the rapid change in the Medicaid program, there have been delays in getting providers named into each of the systems of the new plans. But if you have selected one of the above Medicaid MCO programs, you can see any of our providers, as all have signed up with the plans. Please be patient with this upload process, but know that we are still eligible to be your Primary Care Providers (PCP) when you enroll in the health care plan of your choice.
The WCH Medical Group is currently accepting new patients so please call 618-327-2225 to schedule an appointment.
If you have questions about the plan you have chosen contact your plan directly. If you have questions about what plan to choose please refer back to the State of Illinois Enrollment Services at 1-877-912-8880.
