Implementing Medicaid Reforms on Behavioral Health and Long-Term Care
Two new Medicaid Institute reports focus on the implementation of Medicaid policy changes in New York, which will require participation in care management for beneficiaries receiving either long-term care or behavioral health services. Until now beneficiaries have typically received these services under a fee-for-service payment model.
The Role of NY's Health Benefit Exchange
A new report from the United Hospital Fund carefully examines the roles New York’s health benefit exchange should play, ranging from a passive marketplace, with the free market alone determining the quantity and scope of offerings, to an active purchaser, with the exchange using its leverage to achieve one or more systemwide goals.
Quality Measurement for Patients with Complex Needs
A new report from the Fund's Medicaid Institute focuses on measuring quality of care for Medicaid beneficiaries with complex needs, including those with multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health conditions, and long-term care needs.The report notes the importance of quality measurement as a tool to advance the state’s goals of reimbursement reform and service delivery redesign.
Patient-Centered Medical Homes
A new Fund report examines New York’s rapid adoption of the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, and considers what would be required for the model to spread even further. The model holds significant promise as a way to address some major problems in the delivery of primary care, by improving access, quality, coordination of care, and the patient experience.
