Support during disasters
We are here to support you during public health emergencies or disasters. See what steps we take to make sure enrollees in affected areas get the medical care they need.
We want to hear from you!
You trust us with your healthcare—now trust us with your ideas! During the year, we hold virtual Listen and Learn sessions with our enrollees to find out how we’re doing. The enrollees who participate become part of our Quality Member Access Committee-Community Advisory Board (QMAC-CAB).
Our 2022 schedule is:
- Thursday, June 16 – for enrollees in Regions 1, 2, and 4
- Thursday, September 29 – for enrollees in Regions 6, 7, and 8
- Thursday, November 17 – for all enrollees statewide
To reserve your spot or for more information, please call 888-800-8659. We will collect some information from you, including your email address, and then follow up with sign-in information in advance of the virtual Listen and Learn. If you get an answering machine, please speak slowly and clearly and leave your name and best contact number.
