QExA is a program that was put together for persons who have Medicaid and are aged, blind or disabled (ABD). Prior to February 1, 2009, these services were provided through the fee-for-service (FFS) system.

QExA was established so that its members would receive the following:

• Service coordination
• Outreach services
• Improved access to health care services
• Enhanced quality health care services

As of February 1, 2009, the way that ABD members get their health care services has changed. These services are now provided through a managed care delivery system. Managed care plans like ‘Ohana will provide most ABD members with the following:

• Primary care services
• Acute care services
• Long-term care services, including home and community-based services (HCBS), as well as institutional care (nursing facilities)

To learn more about the QExA program, call 1-866-928-1959 (TTY: 1-866-928-1958). You can also get information on the steps you will need to take to enroll into a managed care plan.
