The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) released its request for applications (RFA) which will be open until Dec. 16 to oversee and coordinate the specialized treatment of these children in a new program called OhioRISE (Ohio Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence).
The model will consist of a network of behavior health providers and care management entities that work together to deliver intensive, coordinated services and reach more children and families statewide.
An estimated 50,000-60,000 kids will likely be enrolled within the first year of its roll-out which will begin in January 2022.
