Summary

This is a Notice of Award issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services on June 8, 2026, for the Health Choice Illinois (HCI) managed care program administered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. The contract award encompasses six selected vendors across two options: five managed care organizations under Option A (Aetna Better Health of Illinois, Inc; Healthcare Service Corporation operating as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois; Humana Benefit Plan of Illinois, Inc; Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc; and Molina Healthcare of Illinois) and one entity under Option B (Cook County Health and Hospitals System DBA CountyCare Health Plan).

The contract involves capitated managed care services with payment structured as per member per month (PMPM) risk-based capitation rates developed by the Department's actuarial firm in accordance with 42 CFR Part 438, rather than fixed pricing. The total award amount is $431,417,261,488.28, comprised of an initial term valued at $140,298,419,402.56 for 4.5 years and a renewal term valued at $291,118,842,085.72 for 5.5 years. Option A awardees have a combined value of $362,390,499,650.15, while Option B has a value of $69,026,761,838.13. All six vendors are required to meet Business Enterprise Program utilization goals with a 1% BEP participation target. The actual award amounts per vendor will be determined based on Department-approved capitation rates and member enrollment numbers.
