OhioRISE

The Ohio Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence (OhioRISE) program is a specialized managed care program for youth with complex behavioral health and multisystem needs. The Ohio Department of Medicaid has selected Aetna Better Health of Ohio (Aetna) to serve as the OhioRISE specialized managed care organization. Aetna will contract with regional care management entities to ensure OhioRISE members and their families have the resources they need to navigate their interactions with juvenile justice, child protection, developmental disabilities, mental health, addiction, education, and others. An individual who is enrolled in the program will keep their managed care enrollment for their physical health benefit. Anthem will also be included in their care management.
