Project Toolkit comment period ends Thursday

Thank you for the overwhelming response to the draft Medicaid Transformation Project Toolkit. The public comment period for the toolkit closes at 5 p.m. Thursday, February 2.

The Health Care Authority (HCA) will accept comments about the draft Transformation Project Toolkit by e-mail to MedicaidTransformation@hca.wa.gov.

After the comment period, we will post formal comment letters that were received on the Healthier Washington website. Your feedback will help inform our revisions for the final toolkit, which will be posted in March.

The toolkit provides details about the projects that will be eligible for funding under Initiative 1 of the Medicaid Transformation demonstration. Under Initiative 1, Accountable Communities of Health will pursue projects aimed at transforming the Medicaid delivery system to serve the whole person and use resources more wisely. The Transformation Project Toolkit was developed with state and regional health priorities in mind, including input from cross-sector experts and stakeholders.

More information can be found on the Medicaid Transformation web page.

Public forums taking place statewide

The HCA is holding a series of public meetings to give Healthier Washington staff and the public a chance to engage, ask questions, and offer comments about the recently signed Medicaid Transformation Project demonstration. See the schedule and RSVP online
