Also in Rhode Island, effective October 1, 2023, Katie Beckett recipients will now be enrolled in a managed care organization for Case Management Services only. Case Management services are provided by CEDARR Center Providers. All other services will still be reimbursed through Medicaid fee for service.  

When checking eligibility on the Healthcare Portal (HCP) you will see the following (see sample picture below): 

  1. A new row under Benefit Plan Details – Katie Beckett Case Management
  2. A new row under Managed Care Details – Displays the name and dates of the Managed Care Plan the recipient is enrolled in. 

If you are a CEDARR provider and the recipient is enrolled in the Katie Beckett case management program, then you must bill your services to the managed care plan on file. All other providers will continue to bill Medicaid Fee for Service.
