Medicaid/CHIP Data Requirements in Connecticut
Connecticut administers Medicaid (HUSKY Part A) and CHIP (HUSKY Part B) through the “Connecticut Medical Assistance Program”1 and offers beneficiaries an opportunity to participate in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.2
Connecticut authorizes the Commissioner of Social Services to (1) provide home based services to Medicaid beneficiaries living with HIV/AIDs;3 (2) provide Medicaid recipients with “assertive community treatment teams and community support services;”4 (3) administer a pilot project to determine the feasibility of delivering “comprehensive health insurance coverage in a managed care setting” to dual Medicare and Medicaid eligible beneficiaries;5 (4) establish “a child health quality improvement program” as a means of encouraging HUSKY Plan, Part A and Part B providers to use evidence-based strategies to improve the quality of and access to children’s health care;6 and (5) establish a pilot program in which a primary care provider will coordinate the health care services provided to HUSKY Plan, Part A recipients.7
The Commissioner of Social Services must contract for the provision of various administrative services (e.g. care coordination, disease management) to “elderly and disabled Medicaid recipients.”8 The Commissioner may contract for the provision of such services to “Medicaid, Husky Plan, Part A and B, and Charter Oak Health Plan” recipients.9
