Launched in July 2013, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is Ohio's first Executive-level Medicaid agency. With a network of approximately 130,000 active providers, ODM delivers health care coverage to more than 2.9 million residents of Ohio on a daily basis. Working closely with stakeholders, advocates, medical professionals, and fellow state agencies, the agency continues to find new ways to modernize Medicaid in Ohio. Some recent accomplishments include:

• enhancing investment in home- and community-based setting for long-term care
• implementing a new Medicaid managed care program that brings a new level of choice to residents across Ohio
• launching a comprehensive primary care (CPC) program to pay for value rather than volume
• integrate physical and behavioral health care and enhance the quality of care delivered to Ohioans through the Behavioral Health Redesign

From incentivizing care quality and revamping care delivery to fighting fraud and bolstering program integrity, ODM is committed to serving Ohio's taxpayers and families.
