What is a Health Home?
The Mount Sinai PPS is working with six Health Home lead partners to provide patients with Health Home services. MSPPS is available to assist partners with checking if a patient is eligible for Health Home services and if your patient is already assigned to a Health Home care manager. MSPPS can also provide additional information to help connect your patients with the appropriate MSPPS Health Home.
A health home isn’t a place, but a Medicaid State option that provides a comprehensive system of care coordination for Medicaid individuals with chronic conditions. The goal of a Health Home is to provide care coordination for Medicaid beneficiaries with certain chronic conditions and integrate and coordinate primary, acute, behavioral health, and long- term health services.
Eligible patients will be assigned a care manager who is responsible for overseeing and coordinating all the different components of care. A care manager will develop a care plan that will address the patient’s medical, behavioral health, and social service needs.
How do I know if my patient qualifies for Health Home services? Your patient must have:
-
Active Medicaid status including: dual eligible, managed care, Special Needs Plans (SNP), Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), Health and Recovery Plan (HARP), Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA)
-
Two or more chronic medical conditions OR one single qualifying condition: HIV or Serious Mental Illness for adults; HIV Serious Emotional Disturbance, or Complex Trauma for children
-
Demonstrated need for care management services including, but not limited to:
- - Inadequate social support
- - Medication non-adherence
