OhioRISE Overview
On July 1, OhioRISE will begin to provide coordination and specialized services to help children and youth with behavioral health needs who receive care across multiple systems. This builds on the work already underway including the selection and launch of a statewide network of community-based care management entities, the design and build of a centralized technology for the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment tool, transition grant funding to Care Management Entities (CMEs) and MRSS providers (Mobile Response and Stabilization Services) to launch new OhioRISE services and support provider and workforce development; and the completion of extensive community and provider training sessions for more than 1,650 participants.

A description of the OhioRISE Plan and MCO responsibilities
As a part Ohio Department of Medicaid’s (ODM) effort to launch the next generation of Medicaid, ODM will implement OhioRISE (Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence), a specialized managed care program for youth with complex behavioral health and multi-system needs. Consistent with System of Care core principles, OhioRISE intends to provide individualized services informed by youth and family’s voice and choice.
Buckeye, in collaboration with the OhioRISE care team, will be providing physical health care services, including vision, dental and transportation, and will take an active role in the child and family centered care plan and child and family team as needed.
Children enrolled in OhioRISE will be eligible for new Behavioral Health Services including:
OhioRISE Eligibility Requirements
Process for referring children/families for a CANS assessment
Members that may benefit from OhioRISE enrollment may be identified through various means, including, but not limited to, health risk assessment information, provider referrals, member/ family referrals or following an emergency room/ inpatient hospitalization event due to a behavioral health diagnosis. Upon identification, Buckeye’s Care Coordination (CC) team ensures the member and/ or family is connected with a local certified Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessor to complete the assessment and determine program eligibility. The provider submits the CANS assessment into ODM’s CANS IT system and determination is made through the OhioRISE Decision Support Model. In partnership with ODM, Buckeye’s CC team monitors and accesses CANS IT system to determine RISE enrollment status.
