The state of Illinois is further delaying the transition to a managed care health
coverage system for children in the custody of the Department of Children and
Family Services (DCFS), this time citing the COVID?19 outbreak as the reason for
delay, the Southern Illinoisan reported March 16. ?Recognizing the unprecedented
challenges families, medical providers, and state agencies are facing from
COVID?19, the launch of YouthCare services for DCFS youth in care will be
postponed a minimum of 30 days,? the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family
Services said in a statement. Most Medicaid recipients in Illinois are already
under a managed care system, known as IlliniCare. Under that system, the state
pays a flat, monthly per?patient fee to private insurance companies to manage the
care of Medicaid patients. The state has been planning for some time to shift
foster children and other minors in the custody of DCFS into a managed care
system, YouthCare, but that transition was delayed several times. Those delays
have mostly been out of concern that there won't be a large enough network of
participating health care providers that can serve the unique physical, mental
and behavioral health needs of that population. And so, for now, they remain in a
traditional fee?for?service coverage plan, DHFS and DCFS officials stated.
