The New Hampshire Medicaid Medication Risk Reduction Initiative (MMRRI) aims to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for Medicaid beneficiaries by decreasing the prevalence of polypharmacy, over-prescribing, adverse drug events (ADEs), medication-related problems (MRPs), opioid-related, and behavioral health medication risks. The initiative will be led by New Hampshire-licensed advanced clinical pharmacists who, in partnership with Medicaid providers and managed care organizations (MCOs), will conduct comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs) and generate Medication Safety Reports (MSRs) using technology-enabled solutions informed by pharmacy claims data. Services are required to be delivered statewide, with a special focus on rural beneficiaries. The selected vendor is responsible for developing electronic systems for secure claims data integration, staffing a center of clinical pharmacists, implementing provider workflows, training, and incentive strategies, and supporting program sustainability through demonstrated, guaranteed reductions in per-member-per-month (PMPM) costs. Contractor activities also include development and maintenance of claims data interfaces, engagement with providers and MCOs, communication of actionable clinical recommendations, and ongoing performance and impact reporting in compliance with RHTP/CMS and State guidelines. Total available funding is $33,553,391 with no required cost match, and payment is based on deliverable completion.
Eligible applicants are organizations capable of employing or contracting with New Hampshire-licensed advanced clinical pharmacists and capable of delivering statewide services, including in rural areas. Vendors must demonstrate experience with technology-driven medication management solutions, integration of claims data, and partnership with Medicaid providers and managed care organizations. Collaborative proposals are allowed, but subcontractors must be identified and are subject to State terms (Appendix B, P-37). Applicants must be eligible to contract with the State of New Hampshire, not debarred or suspended, and able to comply with all federal (2 CFR Part 200, CMS) and State requirements.
