Illinois Health Connect (IHC) is not ending in October 2013.
IHC will continue to operate as a statewide mandatory health plan choice for those individuals that are not required to participate in an Integrated Care Plan (ICP), Medicaid Medicare Alignment Initiative (MMAI), or a Care Coordination Entity (CCE). As Illinois expands its care coordination programs, the counties where IHC operates may change. If such a change does occur, Healthcare and Family Services will release an official notice to providers. The IHC Helpline continues to be a valuable resource to Recipients and Providers. It is available Monday through Friday 8:00am-7:00pm by calling 1-877-912-1999 (TTY: 1-866-565-8577. Important program information and resources are also available on the IHC website: www.illinoishealthconnect.com .
