According to ODM, the last Benefits and Services work group scheduled for August 9th was cancelled and an update was released with policy updates.

In addition, Provider forums for Managed Care Agencies were scheduled throughout Ohio. Registration is required but there is no cost. 

The Medicaid managed care organizations (MCO) are hosting regional Provider Forums in September and October.  These meetings provide an opportunity for BH providers to hear from the Medicaid MCOs and network with their key staff to build relationships and facilitate the transition of the Medicaid behavioral health benefit into managed care.  The agenda for this round of regional forums will focus on contracting, credentialing, and IT testing.  

Below are the dates, times, location, and registration information.  Providers are strongly encouraged to attend.
