In anticipation of releasing a request for proposals later this year seeking health insurers interested in participating in Pennsylvania’s HealthChoices program for Medicaid beneficiaries, the state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) issued a request for information (RFI) in late May seeking input from stakeholders and interested parties on what the state might do through its next generation of HealthChoices contracts to improve the program and its delivery of care.
Now that the deadline for submitting comments has passed, DHS has released a new document that shares the comments offered most frequently by those who responded to the RFI along with brief descriptions of some of the changes the department is considering when it solicits bids for HealthChoices managed care plans later this year.
Find the original May RFI here, SNAP’s response to that RFI here, and the recent DHS follow-up document here.
