paper Medical Assistance cards |
|
Starting in December 2013, the Maryland Medical Assistance Program will transition from plastic to
paper Medical Assistance cards for our recipients. The format and color of the cards will remain the
same with the following exceptions: Kidney Disease Program cards will now be blue and white and
the Hospice Program cards will be orange and white. Recipients who are new to Medical Assistance
or change from one program to another will receive a paper Medical Assistance card. Recipients who
already have a plastic card will not be issued a new paper card. Providers should continue to verify
eligibility through the provider portal or the EVS system. If you have any questions, please call the
Beneficiary Hotline at 1-800-492-5231.
