OhioRise Enrollment Will Begin On The First Day Of The Month Of Eligibility
Starting July 01, 2026, OhioRISE enrollment will begin on the first day of the month a member becomes eligible.
This update comes from the Ohio Department of Medicaid under rule 5160-59-02. The change aligns enrollment with managed care timelines and reduces the need for retroactive enrollments, especially for inpatient behavioral health cases.
What providers should know?
- Review workflows for services provided before and after the enrollment date
- Submit claims based on the updated OhioRISE timeline
- Coordinate with managed care plans, which remain responsible for CANS assessments completed before enrollment
- Track updates to the OhioRISE Mixed Services Protocol as the change rolls out
