Is walk-in urgent care covered?
Medicaid managed care plans have their own provider networks. You enroll with a plan, pick or are assigned a primary care provider, and use doctors and clinics in that plan's network. HFS describes how Illinois managed care programs work on its managed care page.
Blue Cross Community Health Plans' member FAQ also says that a visit to a provider outside the plan's network may need approval first, and that care at an urgent care facility is not treated as an emergency under the plan (BCCHP FAQ). Rules can change, so confirm with the plan.
The member handbook and the member services number on your ID card are the source of truth for your plan.
