Add'l. Info: The Maryland Department of Health (the Department) is proposing an amendment to its §1115 demonstration waiver known as HealthChoice to establish a limited Collaborative Care Pilot. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has authorized the Department’s existing §1115 waiver through December 31, 2021. HealthChoice, first implemented in 1997 under the authority of §1115 of the Social Security Act, is Maryland’s Statewide mandatory managed care program for Medicaid enrollees. Under HealthChoice, eligible families and individuals are required to enroll in a managed care organization (MCO) that has been approved by the Department. Each MCO is responsible for ensuring that HealthChoice enrollees have access to a network of medical providers that can meet their health needs.
The State’s 30-day public comment period will open on November 20, 2018. Electronic copies of the draft waiver amendment application will be available on that date and may be downloaded from https://mmcp.health.maryland.gov/Pages/1115-HealthChoice-Waiver-Renewal.aspx.
