MomCare-SIS

The SOBRA (Sixth Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) Choice Counseling Program is one component of a special waiver authorized by the federal government in June of 2001.

This program, now known as MomCare was developed through a partnership of the Florida Healthy Start Coalitions, the Florida Department of Health, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, and the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The intent of the program is to help women get into prenatal care as early as possible to ensure positive outcomes for both mother and child.

In August 2001, the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions, Inc. designed, built and implemented a virtual web server- based data and case management system that would operate on a statewide basis as the primary tool for the MomCare Program. The SOBRA Information System was later established to manage the data received weekly from the Medicaid fiscal agent and daily from the MomCare users.
