HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY

[Filed November 1, 2023, 10:49 a.m.]

Title or Subject: Medicaid State Plan Amendment (SPA) 23-0051 Managed Care Updates.

Effective Date: January 1, 2024.

Description: The health care authority (HCA) intends to submit SPA 23-0051 to incorporate changes that were inadvertently left out of the managed care section that reflects the changes made to the rehabilitative services section of the medicaid state plan, recently approved through SPA 23-0010. Changes made to this section will replace old service names with the new naming conventions and are effective January 1, 2024.

SPA 23-0051 is expected to have no material effect on the annual aggregate expenditures or payments for rehabilitation services not already accounted for through agency budget requests and legislative direction.

SPA 23-0051 is in the development process; therefore, a copy is not yet available for review. A copy of the updated SPA will be available no later than November 15, 2024. HCA would appreciate any input or concerns regarding this SPA. To request a copy when it becomes available or to submit comments, please contact the person named below. (Please note that all comments are subject to public review and disclosure, as are the names of those who comment.)
