Late last week, the Office of Medicaid Policy & Planning held a briefing on its plans to develop and launch a Coordinated Care Pilot Program for certain individuals within the Aged, Blind, and Disabled Medicaid eligibility category. The pilot's design was informed by the research conducted in response to House Enrolled Act 1328.

The pilot will include an estimated 75,000 individuals with disabilities, including individuals currently enrolled in Care Select. Excluded populations include: 

>Individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid
>Individuals receiving institutional care (e.g. nursing facilities, ICFs/IDD)
>Individuals receiving HCBS waiver services

A Request for Information was released on April 16 seeking feedback from prospective vendors, as to ways to refine the proposed model. Responses to the RFI are due by May 1st and a subsequent Request for Proposals is anticipated by May 15th. OMPP anticipates selecting a vendor by this Fall and beginning the pilot on January 1st.
