NYS Implementation of Health Homes Guidance Documents and Contracting
Implementation of Health Homes for Medicaid enrollees with chronic conditions was recommended by the Governor Cuomo's Medicaid Redesign Team. As a result, this initiative was included in the Governor's SFY11/12 Budget and was adopted into law effective April 1, 2011. Social Services Law (SSL) Section 365-L authorizes the Commissioner of Health, in collaboration with the Commissioners of the Office of Mental Health, Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, and the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities, to establish health homes for NYS Medicaid enrollees with chronic conditions.
The Department is in the process of developing the Health Home program. More information about health homes will be available on this website in the coming weeks.
