Benefits Collaborative

Benefits Collaborative is a process for ensuring that benefit coverage decisions are based on the best available clinical evidence and that all benefit coverage policies promote the improved health and functioning of Medicaid clients.  The amount, scope and duration of Medicaid benefits will be identified through this process ensuring that benefit coverage determinations are made in a manner that is transparent to, and inclusive of, all stakeholders.

 

Description

 

The Department has developed the order in which benefits will be reviewed and target dates for policy development. The process for benefit definition for many of benefit groups will occur concurrently.

 

The Department will invite clients, advocates, providers, contractors and other interested stakeholders to participate in the process of defining Medicaid benefit coverage policy through public forums and email communications.  All drafted benefit policies will be:

  • Posted on the Web site for public comment;
  • Reviewed by the Medicaid Advisory Committee and
  • Recommended by the Medicaid Advisory Committee to the Medicaid Director for adoption or for modification.
