Effective March 27, 2006, the OAH procedures for handling the processing of all Managed Care and Managed Long Term Care requests will be absorbed by the Communications Intake Unit (CIU). Originally, these requests were special handled due the complexity of the notification procedure as a result of the multiple Managed Care and Managed Long Term Care agencies involved, but after more than five years, it seems appropriate to mainstream these requests with CIU staff handling them in the same manner as other agencies' cases, such as the Office of Medicaid Management’s “OHSM” cases, that currently are handled via waiver and on paper in lieu of personal appearance.
