Connections Plus® Cell Phone

MHS can lend a cell phone to our members enrolled in care management who do not have access to a regular phone. Connections Plus cell phones are programmed to make calls to and receive calls from the MHS Care Management team, a member’s PMP, other doctors in the treatment plan, MHS’ 24 hour nurse advice line and family who support the member’s care plan.

SafeLink Cell Phone

SafeLink is a federal program that gives qualifying members a free cell phone and 350 minutes, 3 GB of data and unlimited texts per month. The SafeLink program gives you the ability to make and receive calls from your doctors, nurses, pharmacy, 911, family and friends. And in the SafeLink program you will have unlimited calling to MHS’ toll-free number 1-877-647-4848 to talk with MHS Member Services, Care Managers, MemberConnections or any other MHS team without it counting toward your minutes. Members can keep their SafeLink phone regardless of their enrollment with MHS.

Member Advisory Council

MHS invites groups of our members from around the state to talk with us four times a year. Discussions include the services MHS provides and how members feel about their doctors as well as how they feel about our programs. Members also look at our print materials and website information. MHS uses this information to make program changes based on our members’ feedback. If you are interested in being part of our Member Advisory Council, call MHS Member Services at 1-877-647-4848.

Member Ombudsman

The MHS member ombudsman program is a partnership between MHS and Mental Health America of Indiana. An ombudsman is someone who works to help you get a problem solved. MHS members can contact an ombudsman for free to discuss any problems they may be having with MHS, MHS services, MHS doctors or any other part of their healthcare. The ombudsman is neutral, so they do not side with MHS or the Medicaid program. The ombudsman will work with you to get your problem solved. If you are an MHS member (or a legal representative), please call if:

  • You have unresolved questions about your MHS benefits or services.
  • You want to know what your MHS rights and responsibilities are for your MHS coverage.
  • You need assistance with the appeals process, including filling out the proper paperwork, documenting verbal appeals or guidance through the appeals process.

If you want the assistance of an ombudsman, please call them toll-free at 1-877-647-5326, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
