Idaho Bills

States findings of the Legislature and directs the Medicaid Review Panel to study the implementation of comprehensive Medicaid managed care.

In March of 2025, the Idaho Legislature voted to submit state plan amendments and federal waivers to the Center for Medicaid Services to implement comprehensive Medicaid managed care in Idaho. In 2024, the Medicaid Legislative Review Panel was established to review contracts related to Medicaid. A transition of Medicaid delivery to a comprehensive managed care system is a momentous task and a highly complex undertaking. The use of additional knowledge and services to accomplish this will require the retention of the services of a consultant or analyst. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has already begun this undertaking and the Idaho Legislature seeks to become an equal partner with them.
