Managed Care Updates Medicaid State Plan Amendment 20-0001 Public Notice

Notice: Managed Care Updates Medicaid State Plan Amendment 20-0001 Public Notice is not available online.

Description: The Health Care Authority intends to submit SPA 20-0001 to reflect the final implementation of the integration of mental health and substance use disorder services (collectively known as “behavioral health”) into an Integrated Managed Care (IMC) program under contract with Apple Health Managed Care Organizations (MCOs).  On January 1, 2020, IMC will be implemented in the Thurston-Mason, Great Rivers, and Salish Regional Service Areas (RSAs).

SPA 20-0001 also updates the IMC section of the State Plan to make technical corrections and more clearly reflect that inpatient and outpatient medical services and oral health examinations and services are currently covered by the IMC program.
