In this section, you can learn about the health services MHS offers. 

Depending on your income status, pregnancy status, and if you pay a monthly contribution, you may be in one of several HIP plans, including HIP Plus, HIP Basic, HIP State Plan and HIP Pregnancy/HIP Maternity. Your benefits may vary, depending on what plan you have.

In HIP, you have a choice of health plans to help coordinate your care. Members select a health plan or will be assigned to one and will stay with that health plan through the calendar year -- January through December. Even if you leave the program and return during the year, you will stay with the same health plan.

Each fall, November 1-December 15, you will have the chance to change your health plan for the next Benefit Year. You can do this by calling 1-877-GET-HIP-9 and letting them know you want to pick a new health plan for the next year. If you like MHS, do nothing! You will be automatically re-enrolled with us for next year.

This does not change your eligibility period for the program. You still have to go through your redetermination process each 12 months. This will occur based on what month you entered the program. You will get a reminder that it is time for your eligibility redetermination. If you do not respond as directed, you could lose coverage.

Not sure which plan you have or need help understanding these benefits and services? Call us at 1-877-647-4848 (TTY: 1-800-743-3333).

You can find all of your covered services in your MHS Member Handbook. The MHS Member Handbook is available in both English and Spanish. The member handbook is available in paper form at no cost to you. We will send it to you in 5 business days after we receive your request.
