1. Mining
Precapture collects continuously from state procurement portals, Medicaid agencies, CMS, and MACPAC. Each public fact cites its source.
FOR HEALTH PLAN LEADERS
Every procurement starts with information. Precapture makes it the knowledge that wins.
Mining, compiling,
and a plan's reading.
Medicaid managed care procurement intelligence for health plans
Precapture collects continuously from state procurement portals, Medicaid agencies, CMS, and MACPAC, and cites the page each fact came from. It compiles that record into state pages, procurement calendars, plan rosters, and a rebid watch. A plan-specific reading of each signal is for subscribers.
Public pages show the evidence. A plan-specific reading is for subscribers.
WHAT IT DOES
Three layers, from the public record to a plan's reading
Public pages show the evidence and the capability. A plan-specific reading is for subscribers.
2. Compiling
Those records are compiled into state pages, procurement calendars, plan rosters, and a rebid watch. Open examples are listed below.
3. Expert analysis
An experienced plan-side reading says what a signal means for this plan, what is likely next, and what to do. That reading is for subscribers. It is not on the public pages.
The public feed still labels a separate Precapture analysis line. That line is a reading of the public record. It is not the plan-specific reading.
WHO DOES THE WORK
Three ways a plan can cover the same public record
Less staff time on the watch. No retainer needed when Precapture carries it.
1. The plan's employed intel staff
Market-intel staff read state portals, amendments, deadlines, awards, protests, and competitor moves. They brief plan leadership. The hours sit with the plan's staff.
2. Staff plus a consultant or contractor
A consultant or contractor adds a periodic brief. The plan's staff still check the sources, reconcile the brief, and carry it to leadership. The plan keeps a retainer.
3. Plan leadership plus Precapture
Leaders read the cited public record: state pages, the procurement calendar, and the rebid watch. Precapture carries the ongoing watch. Less staff time. No retainer needed.
PRODUCT PROOF
What you can open now
These lines are already published, or they are lines from the recorded Indiana brief. Heat is verified activity. It is not a prediction of who wins.
- Sample rebid brief. The Rhode Island FIDE-SNP brief format, with cited facts left in and the what-to-do paragraph replaced by an example placeholder.
- Indiana. Cited signal. IDOA RFP 27-88343 is withdrawn. The IDOA page states that FSSA-OMPP is withdrawing it for compliance with IC § 12-15-5-17.5(c)(2). Reissue is expected most likely by November 9, 2026. We anticipate the reissued RFP will make minimal changes to the timeline of the current RFP (including the January 1, 2029, go-live date for new contracts). The current row's Response Due By cell is 11/24/2026 3:00:00PM EST. That row does not state a November 6, 2026 proposal deadline.
- Georgia. Cited signal. Georgia Families solicitation 41900-DCH0000133 remains in protest. The April 23, 2026 update extends the current Amerigroup, CareSource, and Peach State contracts through June 30, 2027.
- Texas. Cited signal. HHSC forecast RFP HHS0017108 for Medicaid and CHIP dental services, with a Q1 SFY 2027 estimated posting date. The forecast is labeled Last Updated October 9, 2026. The original publication date is not established.
- Pennsylvania. Cited signal. HealthChoices Physical Health RFI 26-RFI-20476. Responses due November 20, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. The page links the eMarketplace advertisement.
- North Carolina. The public page is up. Its status is a watch. No state-specific public item is published on that page right now.
- New York. The public page is up. It says there is no current verified market signal.
Rebid watch
Rebid & Incumbent Watch is a weekly brief. The recorded Indiana sample is the week ending October 23, 2026, for IDOA RFP 27-88343 (HIP, Hoosier Healthwise, Hoosier Care Connect, and PathWays for Aging). The same facts go to every approved organization. A sentence that begins with Precapture analysis is interpretation. A number in a fact has to appear in the source passage that supports it. If the number is missing from that passage, the brief leaves the fact out.
Proposals are due November 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern.
That line is from the recorded brief for the week ending October 23, 2026. The current public Indiana page records the withdrawal. The November 6, 2026 proposal date is not a live deadline while this solicitation is withdrawn.
Citation excerpt
The same brief keeps this compliance row because the figures sit in the quoted passage. The brief calls them curated extracts of the public 2025 PathWays EQRO report, and it says to confirm the PDF column headers before using a figure in a proposal.
The 2025 PathWays EQRO overall compliance standard score row reads 92.69% High, 98.46% High, and 99.23% High.
Procurement calendar
This is the deadline clock printed in that recorded brief. The dates are the ones read from the posted package for the week ending October 23, 2026. Months marked as targets are targets. July 2027 is a target month for the award recommendation. It is not an award.

The same watch reads the official procurement pages for Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and New York. North Carolina and New York do not yet have a cited signal on the public state page. Those pages say so.
How to read this briefing
Every factual item links to its source. Precapture analysis is labeled separately. Heat reflects verified activity, not a prediction of award outcome.

New Mexico closes Medicaid actuarial-support solicitation and enters evaluation
New Mexico Health Care Authority RFP 27-630-8000-0009 seeks one or more independent contractors for Medicaid actuarial, rate-setting and financial consulting services, including managed-care capitation rates, risk adjustment, financial reconciliation and Section 1115 modeling. Proposals were due October 12, 2026. The solicitation marks finalist selection on October 19, oral presentations on October 22, contract award on November 10 and protest deadline on November 25 as estimated dates. Amendment 1 says the procurement may produce one, multiple or no awards and adds conflict-of-interest restrictions involving New Mexico Medicaid managed-care organizations.
Precapture analysisThis is an oversight and rate-setting support procurement, not a health-plan award. The selected adviser or advisers will influence the analytic framework used for Turquoise Care rates, risk adjustment, financial oversight and future managed-care procurement support, making the official award and any protest the next material watch points.
Aetna expands bundled oncology prior authorization across eligible Medicaid markets
CVS Health says Aetna expanded bundled prior authorization across all cancer types for eligible Medicaid members whose providers use the Eviti portal in Oklahoma, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, Kentucky and West Virginia. Aetna reports an effective date of September 1; Healthcare Dive reported availability beginning September 2. Both sources describe combined oncology, radiation and related imaging requests and approximately one-quarter initial uptake.
Precapture analysisThe program gives Aetna a concrete provider-burden and access proof point in active Illinois and Florida markets, but procurement evaluators should distinguish the announced workflow from independently validated turnaround-time, denial and treatment-start outcomes.
New Hampshire closes Medicaid external-quality-review solicitation
New Hampshire DHHS sought one or more external quality review organizations to assess quality, timeliness and access for Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in statewide Medicaid Care Management. The official procurement page lists the solicitation close as October 14, 2026 at noon and lists official Q&A and Addendum 1 dated October 6. The page does not state an award date or identify an awardee.
Precapture analysisThe procurement has moved past the proposal deadline into an award watch. Because this is an oversight-services procurement rather than an MCO health-plan award, the eventual selection should be tracked for its likely role in quality and access scrutiny without treating it as plan selection.
Texas identifies RFP HHS0017108 for its Q1 SFY 2027 Medicaid dental procurement
HHSC’s procurement forecast, labeled Last Updated October 9, 2026, identifies RFP HHS0017108 for statewide Medicaid and CHIP managed-care dental services and retains a Q1 SFY 2027 estimated posting date. HHSC’s managed-care timeline anticipates award in Q4 SFY 2027 and operations in Q4 SFY 2028. The original publication date is not established by these sources.
Precapture analysisDental is the clearest near-term Texas opening while STAR/CHIP and STAR Kids award schedules remain important watch points.
FirstCare and RightCare Scott & White leave Texas Medicaid managed care
Texas HHS says FirstCare and RightCare Scott & White Health Plans left the Texas Medicaid managed-care program on August 31, 2026. A separate official provider notice says their STAR participation ended for Lubbock, MRSA West and MRSA Central, with affected members moving to Wellpoint or Superior and providers required to use the receiving plan's payer code for service dates beginning September 1. Texas also says affected CHIP members were automatically enrolled in Superior beginning September 1.
Precapture analysisThe completed exits concentrate affected STAR and CHIP enrollment among remaining plans and create measurable continuity, authorization, billing and provider-network execution risk in the impacted service areas.
California postpones commercial Medi-Cal plan procurement until at least 2029
DHCS says the next competitive commercial Medi-Cal managed-care procurement will begin no sooner than 2029, with new contracts effective no sooner than 2031. DHCS now says current plan contracts have been extended from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027 under its annual renewal process.
Precapture analysisIncumbents gain runway while challengers should shift near-term positioning toward CalAIM execution, partnerships and annual-renewal performance.
Louisiana advances financing and continuity plan for Healthy Blue exit
Louisiana LDH says Healthy Blue's Medicaid managed-care contract will end December 31, 2026, affecting more than 290,000 members. Members may select Aetna Better Health, AmeriHealth Caritas Louisiana, Humana Healthy Horizons or Louisiana Healthcare Connections from October 15 through November 16; members who do not choose will be assigned before January 1, 2027. On September 17, LDH presented proposed 2027 contract extensions under which the four remaining plans would collectively receive a cited contract amount (amount for subscribers), subject to legislative approval. The state said plan performance may influence some automatic assignments and receiving plans must honor previously authorized services and prescriptions for the first 60 days of 2027.
Precapture analysisThe transition now has explicit financing, continuity and performance-based enrollment stakes. The four remaining plans gain membership opportunity but face near-term network-matching, authorization, pharmacy, member-service and auto-assignment execution exposure; stronger measured performance may also affect enrollment allocation.
CMS reports 73.5 million Medicaid and CHIP enrollees for May 2026
CMS reported 66,388,522 Medicaid enrollees and 7,137,750 CHIP enrollees across reporting states and DC for May 2026.
Precapture analysisCurrent state-level enrollment should anchor market-size estimates and transition capacity assumptions rather than stale annual totals.
Idaho sets December 1 blackout before comprehensive managed-care RFP
Idaho DHW and Idaho Capital Sun report that the comprehensive managed-care transition is delayed to 2030 and that a procurement blackout begins December 1, 2026. DHW separately says it expects the RFP later in 2027.
Precapture analysisThe remaining pre-blackout period is a defined market-shaping window for Idaho-specific rural access, workforce, LTSS, claims-readiness and provider-experience evidence.
Illinois imposes a monetary sanction on Meridian (amount for subscribers), corrective-action plan and enrollment hold
Illinois HFS sanctioned Meridian Health Plan (monetary sanction, amount for subscribers) for multiple HealthChoice Illinois contract failures involving HCBS waiver service planning, authorizations, appeals and care-coordinator training. HFS imposed an enrollment hold effective August 22, 2026, suspending automatic assignments and new enrollment until the department, in consultation with its EQRO, determines that deficiencies are resolved. The state enrollment site says current members may remain enrolled and waiver-service members qualify for a special enrollment period while the hold remains in place.
Precapture analysisThe active hold creates near-term enrollment and reputation pressure for Meridian while making HCBS remediation, appeal accuracy, service-plan documentation and state/EQRO validation measurable competitive issues during Illinois contract implementation.
Elevance agrees to exit the District's Medicaid market
Elevance leadership said the company mutually agreed with the District to exit DC Medicaid and expects additional targeted exits over 12–18 months where it does not see a path to sustainable performance.
Precapture analysisCompetitors should distinguish broad Medicaid commitment from state-level portfolio discipline and watch for continuity, rebid and replacement opportunities in marginal markets.
Arkansas sets enrollment path for Centene's ARHOME exit
Arkansas DHS says Centene, also known in the market as Ambetter, QCA and QualChoice, will leave ARHOME at the end of 2026. Affected members may select an Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield plan from October 15 through December 15, 2026; members who do not select a plan will be automatically placed into a Blue Cross plan without a coverage lapse and will have 30 days to change that assignment.
Precapture analysisThe exit now has a defined member-transition window. Enrollment communications, automatic assignment, continuity and Blue Cross readiness are the immediate execution tests.
Arizona posts official list of ALTCS E/PD offers received
AHCCCS's official YH27-0001 bidders’ library posted a List of Offers Received, as verified September 26. Solicitation Amendment 3, dated September 9, had replaced Exhibit F2 for contract citations and past-performance submissions, incorporated a second round of answers, and required a signed amendment with each response. Proposals were due September 24, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Arizona time. The official schedule sets oral presentations for October 26 through November 10, with contract award planned for January 2027 and contract operations beginning October 1, 2027.
Precapture analysisThe posted offeror list confirms that the competition has moved into evaluation. The next scheduled checkpoints are oral presentations and the planned January award.
Pennsylvania issues HealthChoices Physical Health RFI 26-RFI-20476
The Pennsylvania eMarketplace advertisement for solicitation 26-RFI-20476 lists the title HealthChoices for Physical Health Services, a solicitation start date of October 6, 2026, and a due date of November 20, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. The advertisement is issued by the Department of Human Services Bureau of Procurement and Contract Management and asks for input toward a future HealthChoices Physical Health RFA and improvements to the mandatory managed care program. FindMyBids and ContractRadar list the same solicitation number, title, October 6 posting, and November 20 deadline.
Precapture analysisThis RFI is a pre-solicitation signal for a later RFA. It is not an award and it is not a contract proposal deadline. Responses are due November 20, 2026. The official advertisement is the controlling record.
Georgia Families solicitation 41900-DCH0000133 remains in protest
The Georgia Department of Community Health's April 23, 2026 Georgia Families update says solicitation 41900-DCH0000133 is in the protest phase and a notice of award has not been issued. The same update extends the current contracts for Amerigroup, CareSource, and Peach State through June 30, 2027. The December 26, 2024 notice of intent to award names CareSource, Humana, Molina, and UnitedHealthcare as the apparent successful health plans, and names UnitedHealthcare for the Georgia Families 360 contract.
Precapture analysisThe notice of award is still unissued, so the apparent successful plans are not a completed award. The June 30, 2027 date is an extension of the current Amerigroup, CareSource, and Peach State contracts.
Pennsylvania’s updated Community HealthChoices waiver takes effect
Pennsylvania and the Rehabilitation & Community Providers Association report that CMS approved the Community HealthChoices Section 1915(c) waiver amendment effective July 1, 2026.
Precapture analysisCHC contractors must align HCBS oversight, participant protections, authorizations and grievance operations with the renewed authorities and agreement.
Illinois opens Humana enrollment and sets MLTSS plan transitions
Illinois formally awarded new HealthChoice Illinois contracts to Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Meridian, Molina and CountyCare. The state's official enrollment site says eligible clients may choose Humana for HealthChoice Illinois or MLTSS beginning October 16, 2026, with coverage effective January 1, 2027 and a special enrollment period through March 31, 2027 for otherwise locked-in clients. The same official page says CountyCare and Blue Cross Blue Shield will leave MLTSS after December 31, 2026, and affected MLTSS members must choose a new plan by that date for January 1 coverage.
Precapture analysisThe award has entered member-choice and transition execution. Humana now has a defined enrollment runway, while the MLTSS changes create near-term member communication, plan selection, continuity and receiving-plan capacity tests.
Centene reorganizes leadership around Medicaid and local-market execution
Centene announced Daniel Finke and Michael Carson as group presidents in a structure separating Medicaid/Marketplace responsibilities from Medicare/Specialty responsibilities. Centene's April announcement called Finke Group President, Markets and Commercial; a May SEC filing described the role as Group President, Medicaid and Marketplace.
Precapture analysisThe structure sharpens Medicaid and local-market accountability while importing senior Aetna operating experience.
Louisiana closes UnitedHealthcare Medicaid contract and reassigns members
Louisiana closed UnitedHealthcare’s Medicaid contract on March 31, 2026 and reassigned nearly 280,000 members among remaining Healthy Louisiana plans.
Precapture analysisThe exit creates an immediate share and service-transition opportunity for remaining plans while placing continuity and member-transfer execution under scrutiny.
Wisconsin begins enrollment for new and expanding Family Care plans
After a procurement protest was withdrawn, Wisconsin moved forward with Family Care and Partnership awards in regions 2 and 7. Anthem entered Family Care in both regions, while Inclusa, iCare and Molina/My Choice Wisconsin expanded in specified markets.
Precapture analysisCompetition has shifted from award to network, certification, member-choice and transition execution.
Indiana withdraws Medicaid RFP 27-88343
The IDOA current business opportunities page states that FSSA-OMPP is withdrawing RFP 27-88343, Indiana Medicaid Managed Care Organizations, for compliance with IC § 12-15-5-17.5(c)(2). FSSA-OMPP anticipates reissuing the RFP in substantially the same form, most likely by November 9, 2026. The January 1, 2029 go-live is unchanged.
Precapture analysisThe November 6, 2026 proposal date is not a live deadline while this solicitation is withdrawn. The October 11, 2026 controlling-package cutoff is superseded. Watch the IDOA index for the reissued solicitation.
CMS updates state-directed payment policy under Public Law 119-21
CMS released preliminary guidance reducing payment limits for specified state-directed payments and describing temporary grandfathering for certain arrangements across all states and DC.
Precapture analysisPlans and states face renewed rate-development and provider-financing complexity; procurement models should stress-test directed-payment assumptions and implementation timing.
MACPAC documented procurement-capacity and policy-goal challenges in 2022
In April 2022, MACPAC reported that states use managed-care purchasing to advance program goals while complex procurements can strain staff responsible for ongoing operations. This is archival context, not a newly occurring 2026 event.
Precapture analysisCredible bids should reduce state implementation burden and show measurable alignment to policy goals, not only offer program features.
South Carolina adds member populations to managed care for medical services
SCDHHS moved medical services for additional Healthy Connections members into managed care effective January 1, 2026, while waiver services remain fee-for-service.
Precapture analysisPlans need strong managed-care/waiver coordination, transition, authorization, encounter and provider-communication capabilities.
CareSource begins statewide Nevada Medicaid operations
CareSource began operating Nevada Medicaid statewide on January 1, 2026, including rural counties and Clark and Washoe counties.
Precapture analysisNevada gives CareSource a western beachhead and intensifies competition with four national plans in the statewide model.
Florida sets eight-month continuity protection for October 1 CMS Plan transition to Molina
Florida AHCA confirms that Molina Healthcare of Florida will assume statewide Children's Medical Services Plan operations from Sunshine Health on October 1, 2026. In a September 25 provider alert, AHCA said Molina's continuity-of-care period may extend through May 31, 2027: services authorized by Sunshine and documented courses of treatment in effect on October 1 remain covered until the authorization, treatment course or continuity period ends, or a new care plan and services are authorized, whichever occurs first. Members may continue seeing current providers during that period, and Molina must reimburse non-participating providers at their prior rate unless an alternative rate is agreed.
Precapture analysisThe eight-month protection materially lowers immediate disruption risk but creates a measurable transition test for Molina across authorization migration, out-of-network reimbursement, care-plan conversion, provider support and complaint resolution for medically complex children.
Rhode Island executes Amendment 21 to the three Medicaid managed-care contracts
EOHHS executed Amendment 21 to the Medicaid Managed Care Services agreements with Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, UnitedHealthcare of New England, and Tufts Health Public Plans. Each standalone amendment was entered into on July 1, 2026, and each underlying agreement is dated March 1, 2017. Each full contract states the period March 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022 with seven one-year option periods. The Division of Purchases legacy bid search returned no solicitation rows.
Precapture analysisAmendment 21 keeps the three incumbent Medicaid Managed Care Services contracts in force under the March 1, 2017 agreements. The retrieved legacy bid search contains no solicitation rows. Questions, proposal, award, and go-live dates are absent from the documents PrecaptureBot retrieved on October 27, 2026.

Rhode Island posts QLV27007040 for the FIDE-SNP program, proposals due November 4, 2026
Ocean State Procures solicitation QLV27007040 is titled Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan Program (FIDE-SNP). The solicitation states that the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services is seeking proposals and that questions go to the Division of Purchases eProcurement site. It states a start of October 02, 2026 at 11:00:00 AM EDT, an end of November 04, 2026 at 11:00:00 AM EST, vendor Q&A from October 02, 2026 at 11:15:00 AM EDT through October 16, 2026 at 2:00:00 PM EDT, a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on 10/15/2026 at 10:00 AM EST, and an initial contract period beginning January 1, 2028 for one year with up to five additional 12-month periods.
Precapture analysisNeighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island is an incumbent on the Medicaid Managed Care Services contract. QLV27007040 is a separate EOHHS solicitation to qualify managed-care organizations for the FIDE-SNP program, so the November 4, 2026 proposal deadline is a timing item for this plan.
Illinois BidBuy records a June 8, 2026 notice of award for HealthChoice Illinois
BidBuy solicitation 26-478HFS-MEDPR-B-49167 is an HFS HealthChoice Illinois procurement. The page lists a bid opening date of November 13, 2025. The amendment list includes Addendum #1, Addendum #2, and a June 8, 2026 notice of award. A BidBuy No Bid warning on that list is not an addendum. The HFS procurement page states that current HealthChoice Illinois contracts expire on December 31, 2026.
Precapture analysisThe BidBuy docket records a notice of award dated June 8, 2026. The HFS procurement page states that current HealthChoice Illinois contracts expire on December 31, 2026. The notice attachment was not retrieved, so a replacement contract end date remains unstated in this item.
Illinois reports September 1, 2026 managed-care enrollment by plan
The HFS detailed managed-care enrollment report as of September 1, 2026 lists these plan totals: Aetna Better Health 331,185; BlueCross/Blue Shield of Illinois 679,512; CountyCare 374,872; Humana Health Plan 26,471; Meridian Health Plan 607,540; Molina Health Care 270,415; YouthCare 35,707. The report says YouthCare is administered by Meridian Health. The HealthChoice Illinois contact page lists Aetna Better Health of Illinois, Blue Cross Community Health Plan, CountyCare Health Plan for Cook County only, Meridian Health Plan, and Molina Healthcare.
Precapture analysisThe September 1, 2026 report is the latest monthly enrollment file retrieved. CountyCare's total on that report is 374,872. YouthCare's total is 35,707 and the report says YouthCare is administered by Meridian Health.
