Changes are coming to your HFS medical card

Your HFS medical card will have a new look in 2013. When you get the new medical card in the mail, you will need to keep the new card.

After the new HFS medical card is mailed, you will no longer be mailed a medical card every month. The medical card will be sent once a year.

Look for more information coming to you in the mail within the next few months about the new medical card and how to use it.

Your identification number will remain the same even if you lose eligibility and regain it later.

Mailings for the January 2013 HFS medical cards are delayed. If you do not receive your January medical card by the end of the month, contact your local Department of Human Services (DHS) office.

To locate your local DHS office, use the office locator on the DHS Web site. Or call 1-800-843-6154 (TTY: 1-800-447-6404).
