OhioRISE enrollment and eligibility change

Published June 3, 2026Effective July 1, 2026

AI Summary

Starting July 1, 2026, OhioRISE enrollment will be effective on the first day of the calendar month of eligibility, rather than the actual eligibility date. This change aligns with managed care enrollment processes and reduces manual retro-enrollments for inpatient behavioral health admissions.

Action Required

By July 1, 2026: Billing team must review and update workflows for services spanning pre- and post-enrollment dates. Update billing system to align with new OhioRISE enrollment timelines where enrollment begins first day of eligibility month. Coordinate with managed care plans for CANS assessments completed prior to OhioRISE enrollment. Monitor for updates to OhioRISE Mixed Services Protocol reflecting this rule change.
