Medicaid Managed Care
Hudson Health Plan has a contract with the New York State Department of Health to meet the health care needs of people with Medicaid. In turn, we choose a group of health care providers to help us meet your needs. These doctors and specialists, hospitals, labs, and other health care facilities make up our provider network. You can find all providers in our network by using the Provider Lookup function on this site.
When you join our Plan, one of our plan providers takes care of you. Most of the time that person will be your Primary Care Professional (PCP). If you need to have a test, see a specialist, or go into the hospital, your PCP will arrange it. Your PCP is available to you every day, day and night. If you need to speak to him or her after hours or on weekends, leave a message and how you can be reached. Your PCP will get back to you as soon as possible. Even though your PCP is your main source for health care, in some cases, you can self-refer to certain doctors for some services.
Our friendly and courteous Customer Care representatives can answer any of your questions about how managed care works and how you benefit from being a member of Hudson Health Plan. Contact Customer Care or call 1.800.339.4557.
