How do I use my card?

It is important to know how to use your Medicaid card so you won't have probems getting your bills paid. You will get a colored Medicaid card in the mail each month.

Purple card = Traditional Medicaid

Blue card = Non-Traditional Medicaid

Yellow card = Primary Care Network

Check your each month. Make sure all the information is right. The Medicaid program you are eligible for prints on your card. If you have a health plan or PCP, it will also print on your card. Keep your cards for at least one year. If you don't receive your card or have lost it, call your eligibility worker at DWS.

ALWAYS show your card before you get any kind of medical care. Showing your card helps prevent billing problems.
