November 2022 update: ODM announced that its Next Generation Medicaid program now will launch on Feb. 1, 2023. This will help ODM and its managed care plan partners – including Humana Healthy Horizons® in Ohio – ensure a smooth transition for providers and Medicaid recipients.
The Feb. 1 launch, according to ODM, will coincide with improvements to how Medicaid recipients access healthcare services and supports they need. ODM also will implement the new Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), increasing transparency and visibility of member care and services.
After, ODM will fully launch the full Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System (OMES) module to provide streamlined processes for claims, prior authorizations, and other administrative tasks for providers.
Until that time, providers serving Medicaid recipients in Ohio should continue conducting business as they do today, including the processes, procedures, and systems they use to submit claims and prior authorizations and to complete other administrative functions.
There will be no disruption in services for members.
Member who select (or selected) a Next Generation managed care plan – like Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio – will start receiving services from that plan on Feb. 1.
ODM will send notices to providers about learning and training opportunities on various aspects of the Next Generation Program either via the mail and/or through announcements on the ODM website
