As Cory mentioned in his blog last week, the ADOA recently affirmed our award of the Maricopa County integrated behavioral health services contract to Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care and lifted the Stay on transition activities. The Order from ADOA marked one more step in the process of implementing an integrated care model for folks living with a serious mental illness in Maricopa County.
Magellan elected to exercise their right to additional due process this week by filing a Motion in Superior Court asking for additional review of our and ADOA’s decision- and urging the court to Stay the transition until the review is complete. In the mean-time, we’ll continue to work with Magellan on the day-to-day management of the current contract as well as continue to work with both Magellan and MMIC on more than 100 transition activities.
