Purpose
Our LTSS system is being impacted by several challenges at the same time, including:
- Increased county workload due to the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) combined with a record number of Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) renewals;
- The implementation of the new Care and Case Management IT system with issues that have required additional work for case managers; and
- The transition of members to new case management agencies (CMAs) to achieve conflict-free case management.
In the coming months, the IT innovations and case management redesign modernizations will create a better system for members, providers and CMAs. But the impact of all three occurring at once - which was not intended - is causing short-term challenges to member program eligibility, provider reimbursement, CMA processing and member service response time.
This page is intended to help members and families, case managers, providers, and other stakeholders navigate to HCPF webpages to learn more or access resources related to these concurrent challenges.
