What You Need to Know

There is nothing you need to do as a result of this announcement. This is simply a change in who administers managed care health plans.

Your health plan will not change and you do not need to choose a different health plan.

You can continue to see your same primary and specialty care doctor and keep your existing appointments.

Affiliated doctors will remain independent, stay at their current office locations, and keep their same phone numbers.
