Responses to Long Term Services and Supports Request for Information - REVISED

On November 29, 2012, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) issued a Request For Information (RFI) seeking creative, innovative and viable strategies that would assist Louisiana with restructuring the organization and delivery of Medicaid services  to individuals receiving  Medicaid-funded Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS). The key objectives of restructuring are to:

• Improve quality of services and health outcomes;
• Decrease fragmentation and improve coordination of care;
• Create a system that utilizes proven and/or promising practices;
• Refocus the system in order to increase choice and provide more robust living options for those who need LTSS and their families; and
• Rebalance the system in order to meet the growing demand for services within the existing level of expenditures for the LTSS population.

The Department received eighteen (18) responses, which are linked below:
