Due to the high number of enrollments following the UCare closure, DHS is experiencing delays in processing the enrollment files they’ve received from health plans and are working as quickly as possible to process them.
The good news is that DHS confirmed that members can continue to use their Ucare Member ID card and their Medicare card until their Blue Plus enrollment is finalized. This means they will not experience a gap in coverage. If they have any urgent questions in the meantime about their Ucare coverage, they can contact Ucare at 612-676-3200 or 1-800-203-7225.
Once their Blue Plus coverage is fully processed by DHS, they should receive a new Blue Plus member ID card in the mail and can start to use that card for coverage going forward.
