What is ABD Medicaid? Ohio.

My boyfriend is 65, and he has parkinson's disease and prostate cancer. We live in Ohio. He's been having trouble taking care of himself and the house. I was trying to help him by getting him signed up for the Passport Program, a program that provides people with at home care to keep them from going to a nursing home. He now has an aid who comes over 6 days a week to help out with chores. They switched his Medicaid from Anthem to ABD Medicaid.

Now, he will no longer get transportation services from Anthem, which is putting a great burden on us. The passport program is supposed to provide medical transportation, but it seems a lot more difficult to access than the one he previously had. I am also looking into other senior transportation services.

I'm very concerned that his cancer doctors may not take this new insurance, not to mention his psychiatrist for serious mental health conditions. I have been assured by people from the passport program that everything will be fine, but they don't seem to know what they're talking about, and everyone I talk to is giving me contradictory information.

I haven't been able to find a website for ABD Medicaid or a list of providers, or anything like that. I remember that when I had traditional Medicaid, finding a doctor who would take my insurance was almost impossible, and I hope he doesn't run into the same problem.

He's very confused and worried, and he doesn't understand what's going on, so now, it's my problem to get fixed. At the moment, I am greatly regretting getting him signed up for this program.

Does anyone have experience with ABD Medicaid or know anything about this type of Medicaid?
