How do I choose a health plan?
In choosing a health plan, you should think about the doctors you want, the services you and your family need, and the health plans available to you. Make sure the doctor you want to see is in the health plan you choose. After you join a plan, you must use the hospitals, clinics and doctors that work with the plan. Unless your doctors are in the health plan you choose, you won't be able to see your former doctors, or use the clinics and hospitals you do now.
The following health plans are approved to accept enrollments into the FHPlus program.
