WVCHIP delivers benefits to members through arrangements with managed care organizations (MCOs) and some benefits are delivered through WVCHIP fee-for-service (FFS). Once determined eligible and enrolled into WVCHIP, members are enrolled into the Mountain Health Trust (MHT), the managed care program that offers members a choice of one of four MCOs in which to enroll: 1) Aetna Better Health of West Virginia; 2) The Health Plan; 3) Wellpoint West Virginia; and 4) Highmark Health Options of West Virginia.
Members who are new to the program will be automatically enrolled into one of the four MCOs on day one. Members who have been enrolled in WVCHIP or Medicaid within the past year will be enrolled in the last MCO in which they were enrolled on day one. Members can change their MCO by visiting https://www.mountainhealthtrust.com/ or calling 1-800-449-8466 (TTY: 711).
The website provides further information regarding MCOs and benefits provided. Members can also visit each MCO’s website for further information:
