The Ohio Medicaid program has a network of 36,000 providers including,(but not limited to): hospitals, family practice doctors, pharmacies and durable medical equipment companies. These providers are permitted to provide health care services to Medicaid consumers who present a valid Medicaid Card and to bill Medicaid for those services. This is called Fee for Service (FFS).

The FFS system operates statewide. A Medicaid consumer may go to any Ohio Medicaid provider. However, a provider's participation in the Medicaid program is voluntary. Consumers should ask the provider if they accept the Medicaid card before scheduling an appointment.

For names of providers near you, please contact the Consumer Hotline at 1-800-324-8680 or TDD 1-800-292-3572.
