Application To Provide Health Home Services to Managed Fee-For-Service Dual Eligible Individuals
Eligible Applicants
NYS Designated Provider-Led Health Homes
The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) is now accepting applications from State Designated Provider-Led Health Homes that can demonstrate the ability to provide integrated care coordination to dual eligible individuals. This applies to recipients of Medicare Part A, B, and D benefits and all Medicaid State Plan benefits (mandatory and optional) that have two or more chronic conditions, HIV/AIDS and risk developing another chronic condition or one serious and persistent mental health condition, and do not require 120 or more days of long-term supports and services (LTSS). This Managed Fee-For-Service (MFFS) Health Home Dual Eligible Program will be implemented statewide effective January 2013.
The goals of this MFFS Dual Eligible Program will be to: 1) reduce avoidable hospital admissions and emergency room visits; 2) reduce uncoordinated, fragmented, duplicative and unnecessary care; 3) provide timely follow up care; 4) reduce health care costs; 5) decrease admissions to long term care facilities; and 6) improve the experience and quality of care outcomes for the individual. The MFFS Health Home Dual Eligible Program will also coordinate and provide access to long-term care supports and services; for beneficiaries needing less than 120 days of these services and manage transitions to other programs as the needs of the individual change.
