DHS Announces Applicants Selected for Agreement Negotiations for Community HealthChoices Program Re-Procurement
The Department of Human Services (DHS) today announced applicants selected through a Request for Applications (RFA) process to administer Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices (CHC) program, the Medicaid managed care program that covers adults who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid or who qualify to receive Medicaid long-term services and supports due to a need for the level of care provided in a nursing facility.
Selected applicants will now move to a readiness review period before the agreements are fully executed.
The five selected plans will be available statewide. They include the three current incumbents and two plans new to Community HealthChoices:
- Aetna Better Health of Pennsylvania
- Health Partners Plans
- PA Health and Wellness
- UPMC For You
- Vista Health Plan (AmeriHealth Caritas/Keystone First)
RCPA will be reaching out to the selected applicants to be at the upcoming PD&A meeting in September. If you have any questions, please contact Fady Sahhar or Melissa Dehoff.
