The single pharmacy benefit manager (SPBM) is a specialized managed care program operating as a prepaid ambulatory health plan (PAHP) that will provide pharmacy benefits for the entire Medicaid Managed Care population (excluding MyCare members) in Ohio. Gainwell Technologies serves as the SPBM in Ohio. 

Access the Ohio Medicaid Pharmacy Services Web Portal

An additional integral component to the new pharmacy model is the Pharmacy Pricing and Audit Consultant (PPAC), which will conduct actual acquisition cost surveys, including the cost of dispensing surveys, and perform oversight and auditing of the SPBM. ODM has selected Myers and Stauffer, LLC, as the PPAC vendor. 

The SPBM will consolidate the processing of retail pharmacy benefits and maintain a pharmacy claims system that will integrate with the Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System (OMES), new managed care organizations, pharmacies, and prescribers. The SPBM also will work with pharmacies to ensure member access to medications, supporting ODM’s goals of providing more pharmacy choices, fewer out-of-network restrictions, and consistent pharmacy benefits for all managed care members. The SPBM also will reduce provider and prescriber administrative burden by utilizing a single set of clinical policies and prior authorization procedures, as well as a single pharmacy program point of contact for all members.

All Medicaid managed care members will be automatically enrolled with the SPBM under a 1915(b) waiver. Additionally, Gainwell Technologies will be required to contract with all enrolled pharmacy providers that are willing to accept the SPBM contract terms, resulting in a broad pharmacy network that will ensure access for all members statewide.  

For more information about the SPBM or PPAC initiatives, please email MedicaidSPBM@medicaid.ohio.gov.

Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio established guidelines for payments to out-of-network providers for preauthorized medically necessary services. These services will be reimbursed at no less than 100% of the Ohio Medicaid fee schedule. If the service is not available from an in-network provider, Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio may reimburse that provider less than the Medicaid Fee for Service rate.

We cover and pay for emergency and post-stabilization care services. This includes ensuring the determination of the attending emergency physician, or the provider actually treating the member, of when the member is sufficiently stabilized for transfer or discharge.

Humana Healthy Horizons does not require prior authorization for post stabilization care services.  If you have questions, please call 877-856-5707 (Provider Services).

The Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio Provider Manual includes additional information about emergency and post-stabilization care services.

DentaQuest administers the Humana Healthy Horizons in Ohio dental plan.
