The CAA Implementation and Automation Technology Project aims to implement the CAA rules, offer self service capabilities for public institutions allowing them to submit and track Health Care apps. - The CAA Implementation and Automation Technology Project aims to implement the CAA rules, offer self service capabilities for public institutions allowing them to submit and track Health Care applications for eligible juveniles, and use intelligent automation for no-touch processing of Medicaid/CHIP applications submitted by public institutions. The Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) serves vulnerable Arkansans providing numerous social service benefits to citizens in collaboration with community groups, private providers, and other state and local government entities. The CAA, 2023, signed into law on December 29, 2022, included two provisions that amend the Medicaid inmate payment exclusion and the CHIP eligibility exclusion. This is limited to certain circumstances for eligible juveniles, as prescribed in the law as well as summarized in this grant opportunity. The Department of Human Services (DHS) understands that research indicates incarceration during adolescence and early adulthood correlates with an increased risk of adult incarceration and deteriorated physical and mental health in later years. Incarcerated individuals encounter elevated levels of health issues, including chronic conditions and infectious diseases, underscoring the importance of providing medical coverage upon release. Addressing the healthcare needs of formerly incarcerated individuals can contribute to improved health equity. To adapt the CAA and achieve these objectives, the following challenges must be addressed: • Medicaid and CHIP Eligibility: Address the complexities surrounding Medicaid and CHIP eligibility for individuals incarcerated in public institutions. Improve eligibility systems and processes to align with and implement the CAA regulations effectively. • Operational Barriers: Address operational barriers and enhance systems to ensure continuity of care post-incarceration in state-operated prisons, local, tribal, and county jails, as well as youth correctional or detention facilities.
