Benefits & Services

CareSource covers services that are medically necessary. We also offer rewards and incentives for you. You can learn more here.

Some services have a small cost to you. This is called a copayment or copay. You’ll pay this at the health care office. They cannot deny treatment if you cannot pay. Learn more in your member handbook or call us.
