COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Department of Medicaid chose Aetna Better Health to manage the care of children with complex behavioral health needs in a new program called OhioRISE, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday.
When fully implemented, Aetna will get $900 million a year to manage the care of around 60,000 children in OhioRISE from a combination of state and federal money, an Ohio Medicaid spokeswoman said.
