| | | | | | | | | NOTES/EXCEPTIONS: | The Medicaid Managed Care Aligning Technology by Linking Interoperable Systems for Client Health Outcomes Program (ATLIS Program) launched in September 2024. Under the authority of Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations Section 438.6(b)(2), this program offers incentive payments to MCO's that achieve milestones related to interoperability. These milestones, which begin with an assessment of current interoperability status and connectivity to Health Information Exchange (HIE), including data sourcing to Emergency Department Encounter Notification (EDEN), are expected to build over a five-year period. Milestones, traced on a semi-annual basis, focus on participating Managed Care Organizations (MCO's) success in implementing structures, processes, and use of client data electronically exchanged with their network providers. The goal of this increased interoperability is to improve client outcomes and implement, evaluate, improve, and mature alternative payment for Medicaid beneficiaries. |
