Sponsored by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Medicaid Reform Information, Training, and Evaluation (MediRITE) Project was a multi-faceted effort to inform Medicaid providers, beneficiaries, and others interested people about Florida’s Medicaid Reform pilot program that began in Broward and Duval counties starting on July 1, 2006.
The information was provided in an overview flyer and comparison chart, on a DVD, and in a tri-lingual website. This project also trained and certified the nation's first face-to-face and telephone Choice Counselors who assisted providers with questions and beneficiaries with the opportunity to enroll in a managed care organization that the beneficiary chose.
Finally this project evaluated the Choice Counseling enrollment process and beneficiary satisfaction with the Medicaid Reform Program as well as the training program for the Choice Counselors.
