Updates have been made to two forms used by Medicaid behavioral health providers. The form updates, made in collaboration with MCOs and BH Providers and Stakeholders, are intended to improve clarity and ease of use and reflect the new Next Generation MCOs that began coverage on February 1, 2023.
The two updated forms are:
Ohio Medicaid Authorization Form – Community Behavioral Health

Minor updates made to this form include:
- Clarification that MCO responses to the form are due within “one business day” of receipt
- Clinical Contact Name” changed to “Discharge Planner”
- Addition of new Next Generation Medicaid MCOs and their contact information
The updated SUD Residential Treatment Notification of Admission Form is available on the ODM Forms webpage by searching for “Substance Use Disorder Residential Treatment Notification of Admission Form”
