Ohio Medicaid: We have developed a new vision for Ohio’s Medicaid program that focuses on people and not just the business of managed care. This is the first major overhaul of Medicaid in 15 years.
Tomorrow, a new application will open for businesses interested in providing managed care plans for children and adults within the Medicaid program. The selected plans will be an essential piece in improving the health and lives of millions of Ohioans.
Not only will selected plans work with my administration to build better systems of care, but they also play a special role in helping their members develop good health habits.
If you are currently covered by Medicaid, please know that any changes to Ohio’s managed care plans will NOT disrupt your coverage or access to care.
The Department of Medicaid will also be issuing a second managed care application later this fall to specifically serve children who have complex behavioral health needs.
Our new managed care program for these children -- called Ohio RISE –--will work to build up evidence-based care coordination and behavioral health programs throughout the state, ensuring access for more children and better outcomes.
