Office of Medicaid Innovation

The Office of Medicaid Innovation (OMI) is a strategic partnership between the University of Illinois System and the Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services (HFS). Together, we work to design, implement, and evaluate forward-thinking initiatives that strengthen Illinois’ Medicaid program and improve health outcomes for individuals and families across the state.

OMI brings together experts in public health, data analytics, policy, clinical practice, and program design to drive innovation, equity, and system transformation. Our teams collaborate to modernize service delivery, enhance provider support, and ensure that all Illinoisans, regardless of background, have access to high-quality, person-centered care.

Rooted in partnership and guided by data, OMI is dedicated to building sustainable solutions that meet community needs, support providers, and advance health equity across Illinois.
