OhioRISE
Ohio Resilience Through Integrated Systems And Excellence (OhioRISE)
The OhioRISE (Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence) program is a managed care program for children and youth with complex behavioral health and multisystem needs. OhioRISE aims to expand access to in-home and community-based services to ensure members and families have the tools they need to work with community systems such as education, developmental disabilities, child protection, juvenile justice, mental health and addiction, and others. An individual who is enrolled in the OhioRISE program will keep their managed care enrollment for the physical health benefit.
Children and youth who may be eligible for OhioRISE:
Children and youth may also be eligible for OhioRISE due to certain urgent conditions. For example, if a child or youth is in a hospital for behavioral health reasons or is admitted into a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF).
