Medicaid Managed Care Procurement in Ohio

posted: August 3, 2020

In early 2019, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine called on the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) to take steps to ensure Ohioans get the best service in health care. In response, the administration embarked on the “Medicaid Managed Care Procurement” initiative, with a mission to "focus on the individual rather than the business of managed care." The Procurement is expected to result in the issuance of new managed care contracts. OAR has submitted two comment letters during the ODM’s request for information process to offer answers to a host of various questions pertaining to how to improve managed care for providers and patients. The ODM has posted the information it has received from providers and posted it on the Procurement webpage.
