Action Required
Before April 1, 2011: Providers serving Medicaid patients in DuPage, Kane, Kankakee, Lake, Will and Suburban Cook counties must contract with Aetna Better Health (contact Staci Chambers at 1-866-827-2710) and/or IlliniCare Health Plan (contact Marc Barclay at 314-307-3525) to ensure payment for ICP-enrolled patients.
