Pennsylvania Issues Community HealthChoices RFP for MLTSS, Duals

This week, our In Focus section reviews the Community HealthChoices request for proposals (RFP), issued on March 1, 2016 by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS). Community HealthChoices is a new statewide managed care program that will provide managed long-term supports and services (MLTSS) to both dual eligible non-dual eligible Medicaid beneficiaries in the state, as well as managed acute care services for dual eligibles without LTSS needs. When fully phased in, Community HealthChoices is anticipated to cover an estimated 420,000 beneficiaries (more than 150,000 in MLTSS), with annual Medicaid expenditures of more than $7 billion.
