TO: All Providers
In order
to assist providers and Regional Care Organizations (RCOs) to better understand
the Integrated Provider System (IPS)
program and to clarify the intended focus of IPS projects, Alabama Medicaid has
posted an “IPS Guidance” summary on the IPS webpage.
Given the volume
of funding requests reflected in the IPS letter of intent (LOI) submissions,
Alabama Medicaid realizes the importance of clarifying its funding parameters,
so that RCOs and providers are aware of the limits of the IPS funding, and
particularly the IPS projects that Alabama Medicaid does not intend to approve.
Providers that
submitted an IPS LOI or that are interested in developing an IPS application
should read this guidance document before moving forward. Although the IPS application
timeline and due date are still to be determined, interested providers should
begin to work with a sponsoring RCO to develop an IPS application.

questions related to the IPS program to RCOQuality@Medicaid.Alabama.gov.
