Recommendations: Specialty Health Homes
NYCCP is proposing a scalable model for specialty
health homes for individuals with serious mental illness,
based on the NYCCP keys to success . (Detailed
proposal will be submitted.)
Specialty health homes should be a central component
of any Medicaid managed care program, ensuring true
integration of physical health, behavioral health and
social services for people with serious mental illness.

Recommended Requirements for Managed
Care Organizations (Detailed proposal will be submitted)
Work cooperatively with county mental health departments on local service planning, provider contracting,
coordination of Medicaid and non-Medicaid funding of services for SED children and SMI adults.
Collaborate with community behavioral health providers on person-centered assessment, service planning,
coordination and monitoring of care.
Support formation of partnerships between physical health and behavioral health providers interested in providing
health home services to persons with SMI.
Assure that people with SMI have access to needed physical health services.
Maintain percentage level of financial support for behavioral health care to all populations.
Actively involve behavioral health providers, consumers, and family members in development and oversight of
managed service systems.
