Today is a Day for Celebrating: PHP Passed the CMS Readiness Review & A Whole New Kind of Managed Care is Happening in NY

Posted by Elizabeth Chatterton on Thu, Dec 17, 2015 @ 04:34 PM

Today has been a very exciting day at the MediSked Office in Rochester, NY.

This morning we were joined by Dr. Jan Abelseth from Partners Health Plan and together we celebrated PHP's latest big accomplishment - passing the CMS Readiness Review.

We’re incredibly proud to have designed and developed the systems and solutions that make New York State's new model of managed care possible and we are absolutely thrilled that the auditors were so impressed. 

If you're not familiar with this new FIDA-IDD or our person-centered comprehensive assessment that's integrated with a fully electronic life plan / individualized service plan and linked directly to habilitation plans, active treatment plans, and individual protective oversight plans you can read about it here:

Healthy resolutions in order for DD Services under managed care

Posted by Mike Holihan on Thu, Feb 05, 2015 @ 09:08 AM

As states across the country continue to examine the way that DD services are delivered through Medicaid, the concept of managed care continues to gain steam.  In this model, private insurance companies are responsible for administering and funding the health services, managed long term care services and DD home and community based services of an individual.  The state typically turns to a capitated model, where each individual qualifies for a set amount of funds for a year and the insurance company is responsible for providing the services within that individual's set budget.  DD HCBS services are typically foreign to private insurance and this raises red flags for providers in terms of the long term safety of the services they are providing.  Another side effect from managed care is an increased focus on health initiatives for individuals with developmental disabilities.  Because insurance companies are responsible for health services, including doctor visits and emergency room visits, they want to insure that everyone that's covered is living as healthy lives as possible.
