On January 17, 2024, Hawaii submitted a five-year extension request for its Medicaid section 1115(a) demonstration entitled the "Hawaii QUEST Integration" ("the Demonstration"). The Demonstration currently offers services through a managed care delivery system to multiple eligibility groups. This Demonstration extension aims to implement new authorities, including continuous eligibility for children ages 0 through 5 and continuous two-year eligibility for children ages 6 through 18, pre-release services for justice-involved individuals, nutrition supports, and contingency management. The extension will also build upon existing authorities, for example, by expanding rental assistance and adding medical respite to the state's Community Integration Services (CIS) program. The state is proposing these initiatives to advance its goals of improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities. The federal public comment period will be open from February 5, 2024 through March 6, 2024. Pending Application View/Submit Public Comments |
