Content: If you do not have a medical case, you can apply for an HFS Medical card for your baby by calling 1-800-843-6154 or online at https://ABE.illinois.gov
If your baby is added to your medical case in the first 90 days, the baby will be automatically enrolled in your health plan. You can keep your baby in your health plan or you can switch your baby’s health plans for any reason during the first 90 days. After that, your baby will remain enrolled in that health plan for 12 months. However, you can work with your health plan to change your baby’s PCP at any time. If you do not have a medical case, or are not enrolled in a health plan at the time of the baby’s birth, you will receive an enrollment packet for your baby in the mail. The enrollment packet will give you your baby’s health plan options and a date for when you must decide.
