Effective December 31, 2025, the PHP FIDA-IDD demonstration plan is no longer available. Earlier this year, all members received a CMS Non-Renewal letter with details about this change.
Because your current plan is ending, you have a special enrollment period that allows you to choose a new Medicare health and prescription drug plan anytime through February 28, 2026.
If you have not selected a new plan, please contact your Care Manager. They can help you review the CMS letter, understand your options, and support you through each step of the transition.
Your Medicaid coverage is not changing. You will continue to receive OPWDD services and supports through New York State Medicaid.
To all of the members and families we’ve had the privilege to serve — thank you. We are grateful for your trust and partnership. We will continue to advocate and fight to support the I/DD population of New York state and beyond.
