BACKGROUND:
As required by Section 1204 of Public Act 63 of 2011, effective October 1, 2012, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Servies (MDHHS) changed the enrollment status of beneficiaries that have both Medicaid and Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS) from excluded to mandatory enrollment into a Medicaid Health Plan (MHP). MDCH and the MHPs worked together to obtain signed contracts between MHPs and Local Health Departments (LHD’s).
DISCUSSION:
Medicaid Health Plan/LHD contracts were last distributed and agreed upon before October1, 2012. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has made recent revisions to the managed care contracts and has requested each managed care plan within its contracted county obtain LHD signatures on the recently revised contracts. Currently Blue Cross Complete, HAP CareSource, McLaren Medicaid Health Plan, Meridian Health Plan, Molina Medicaid Health Plan and United Health Care Medicaid are contracted service providers in Genesee County. As of this writing HAP CareSource and United Health Care Medicaid have contacted the LHD for department signature.
