Ohio Medicaid’s Integrated Eligibility (IE) and Health & Human Services Business Intelligence (BI) project, which is referred to as Ohio Benefits (OB), streamlines and simplifies eligibility and enrollment processes for Ohioans seeking to enroll in Medicaid and other health and human services programs. The goal of the Ohio Medicaid IE project was to create an eligibility system that is consumer-centric, easy to navigate, promotes care coordination, improves administrative efficiencies, and enhances the delivery of health care services that are specific to an individual’s needs.
