Integrated Care Organizations

Integrated Care Organizations (ICOs) are the managed care entities that will operate the Virtual PACE demonstration program. DHS is using a phased certification process to determine ICO capability to operate the program.

The Phase One Summary (PDF, 20 KB) briefly describes each applicant and the results of the Phase One review. DHS has approved one applicant to proceed to Phase Two, and will work with the other three to identify solutions to unmet Phase One requirements.
