Pennsylvania Medicaid Seeking Input On I/DD Managed Care & Physical/Behavioral Data Sharing

Pennsylvania is considering changes to the health plans serving approximately 2.3 million Medicaid beneficiaries, including how physical and behavioral health plans share information and whether children with intellectual/developmental disabilities should be served by a specialized statewide plan. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) is seeking stakeholder feedback on these options ahead of its next procurement for the HealthChoices Physical Health program, which contracts with managed care organizations (MCOs) to provide Medicaid coverage across the state.

PA DHS released the request for information (RFI 26-RFI-20476) on October 6, 2026, with responses due November 20, 2026 . . .
