The Agency for Health Care Administration (“Agency”) will be hosting a public webinar on October 5, 2018, to share information about updates to the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (“SMMC”) program.

The Agency contracts with Medicaid health and dental plans to provide services to health plan enrollees in the SMMC program. The Agency recently entered into new contracts with health and dental plans. As part of those contracts, the Agency achieved program changes that greatly benefit enrollees and providers.

In addition, the Agency is focused on fully integrated health care.  As such, under these new contracts, health plans will be responsible for covering services previously paid for through the fee-for-service program.  These services include:

  • Early Intervention Services
  • Medical Foster Care
  • Nursing Facility Services
  • Child Health Services Targeted Case Management

This webinar will focus on Early Intervention Services.  Additional webinars will be presented at a later date on the three remaining services listed above.
