Two contained demographic information - including names, addresses and Social Security numbers - for all of the agency's 72,000 subscribers in Lucas, Summit and Stark counties, as well as medical information on 13,000 consumers in Stark County. Buckeye Community Health Plan contracts with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services as a Medicaid service provider. Medicaid is a federal-state program that helps pay for health care for the needy, aged, blind and disabled, and for low-income families with children.
