RCPA Submits Comments on CHC RFI, Shares Call to Action

RCPA has submitted a response to the Community HealthChoices (CHC) Request for Information (RFI) regarding the upcoming program changes and procurement. RCPA's recommendations center on four priorities:

1. Standardize service coordination, assessments, authorizations, and provider information sharing across CHC-MCOs;
2. Strengthen provider sustainability through workforce investment, reimbursement adequacy, and payment certainty;
3. Expand advanced value-based purchasing that rewards participant outcomes, continuity of Personal Assistance Services (PAS), workforce stability, and coordinated community-based care; and
4. Encourage responsible use of artificial intelligence and administrative standardization to improve efficiency while preserving appropriate human oversight and participant protections.
