  7. CountyCare Is Obamacare • CountyCare is the Managed Care Option for Low-Income Adults (<133% FPL) Living in Cook County Eligible for Medicaid Coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) • Marketplace coverage available (up to 400% FPL) through GetCoveredIllinois.gov or by calling 866-311-1119 Persons with CountyCare, or any other Medicaid coverage, DO NOT need to reapply!

  8. Dispelling the Myths • CountyCare Is Not Going Away 10/1/2013 When The Marketplace Goes Live… • Call Center (312.864.8200) continues • Use of current DHS on-line application systems continues • …Nor is it Going Away 1/1/2014 When ACA Coverage Goes Into Effect Statewide. • IL Medicaid Waiver ends 12/31/2013; CountyCare becomes a Managed Care Community Network (MCCN) • Expect seamless transition for members and network with no gaps in care.
