Dear Provider,

In 2011, Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) will be required to display the Medicaid indicator in the provider directory when they have contracts with State Medicaid agencies.

‘Ohana will be populating the flag on network providers in all states where we have D-SNPs to provide the most comprehensive information to members, even if we are currently still not contracted with the state.

We will direct members to contact your office first to ensure you are still accepting Medicaid patients prior to making appointments.

Thank you for your continued participation and cooperation in our ongoing efforts to render quality health care to our members.
