Health Related Social Needs (HRSN) Services

HRSN services operate under the state’s Medicaid Transformation Project. Services allow qualifying Apple Health (Medicaid) enrollees to receive non-medical services to address an individual’s unmet, adverse social conditions that contribute to poor health.

Contracting opportunities are available to provide services to clients receiving case management services from O3A and/or DSHS (Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS)) or Apple Health recipients who are not receiving case management services (non-LTSS). Providers may apply to deliver services to either or both LTSS populations.

O3A’s HRSN funds become available annually, following a fiscal calendar of July 1 to June 30, up to and ending upon June 30, 2028. If funds are exhausted during any fiscal year, contractors may be placed on a waitlist.

Eligible clients may choose to receive services from any qualified provider of a particular service. A contract does not guarantee referrals. Providers must have adequate cash flow to provide services in advance of reimbursement.

O3A will provide outreach, screening, eligibility determinations, authorization and payment for:
