Florida Health Partners: How to Enroll

How to Enroll

You must qualify for Medicaid mental health benefits from FHP. If you are eligible, Medicaid will enroll you without having to do anything. Once you enroll, you will get a packet of information. It will contain the start date of your FHP coverage. There will also be a member handbook in the packet. It has a directory of our network providers in the back. Enrollment in FHP will not affect mental health services that are provided by:

Rural Health Clinics
Federally Qualified Health Centers
MediPass PCPs.

Medicaid will disenroll members from FHP if they are no longer eligible. A member is no longer eligible if they:

Enroll with a different managed care plan
Are admitted to a state mental health hospital
Admitted to a nursing home

Your benefits need to be moved to the county linked to your new address. This will help to prevent delays in getting services.

And the Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Economic Self-sufficiency sets your benefits:
- Please tell the DCF, Office of Economic Self-sufficiency in your new county. This will be the office linked to your new address.
- This department will now set your benefits. These include cash and food stamps. These also include Medicaid benefits.
Or if the Social Security Administration sets your benefits:
- Please tell the Social Security Administration in your new county. This will be the office linked to your new address. Please phone 1-800-772-1213.

You have a right to choose which Managed Mental Health Care Plan is right for you. If you would like to disenroll from FHP and MediPass, choice counseling can help you.
