Illinois RHTP: Hospital Technical Assistance

Summary

Provides facilitation and technical assistance services to hospital grantees implementing transformation plans under the Illinois Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). This sub-award supports hospitals as they develop and execute regionally focused care delivery reforms, with services provided for the duration of the RHTP initiative. The effort is intended to advance healthcare access, quality, and outcomes for rural Illinois communities in alignment with federally-approved transformation strategies.

Eligibility

Eligible entities are pre-identified sub-awardees via formula allocation—as documented by the program update, the Office of Medicaid Innovation (OMI) is named as the technical assistance provider for Initiative 1.A, rather than being selected through an open competitive process.

Requirements Checklist

• Provide technical assistance and facilitation to RHTP hospital grantees in accordance with CMS-approved implementation plans and annual budgets. Funds must be obligated before the end of each budget period (Year 1 deadline: 10/30/2026). Reporting and performance deliverables align with RHTP and HFS monitoring standards.

Submission Instructions

Programmatic sub-award allocation (not open competitive grant solicitation); no application portal or form.
