Medicaid Seeking New Heritage Health Contracts
The Division of Medicaid & Long-Term Care released its request for proposals for new Heritage Health contracts on April 18, 2022. We would like to thank everyone who provided feedback to the program during our January listening tour, which helped inform key changes to the new contracts Medicaid will award. Our one-pager below gives an overview of how this feedback will be reflected in our new contracts.
Medicaid would like to thank everyone who was able to join the us throughout January to share their experiences with Medicaid's managed care program. People's willingness to share their experiences was an important part of developing these new contracts.
Below are minutes from our January listening tour and copies of the comments the program received.
