Five new rules to regulate the operation of Regional Care Organizations were filed December 17 by the Alabama Medicaid Agency, outlining proposed state requirements that will be used to support the Agency’s move to Regional Care Organizations and to comply with state law. 

The proposed rules include requirements for RCO Governing Boards; for RCO Citizens’ Advisory Committees; for receiving probationary certification as a RCO; for contracting for specific case management services with probationary RCOs, and for active supervision of probationarily certified RCOs.

Written or oral comments on any of the five rules may be submitted no later than February 4, 2014, to the Agency’s Administrative Secretary, at 501 Dexter Avenue, PO Box 5624, Montgomery, AL  36103-5624.
