Ohio’s behavioral health service delivery and payment systems are heading in a new direction. Over the next three years, we expect providers and service recipients to experience significant changes as alterations are made to the state’s determination of eligibility, authorized providers, covered services, and payment amounts and methods. This is the first post of a four-part series that will provide an overview of the coming changes and more detailed discussions of three separate but related areas of the redesign over the coming weeks:
- New disability determination and a new 1915(i) state plan benefit;
- Redefining existing services to align with national coding standards; and
- Moving behavioral health into managed care.
