Federal Approval
New York State has formally requested approval to bring Behavioral Health services into Medicaid Managed Care through the submission of an amendment to NYS Section 1115 Demonstration "Partnership Plan."
The NYS Partnership Plan Behavioral Health Amendment outlines New York's strategy for providing coordinated, quality health care through qualified Mainstream Managed Care Plans and/or specialized managed care product lines known as Health and Recovery Plans (HARPs).
All questions or complaints regarding Behavioral Health Medicaid Managed Care should be submitted to the OMH Division of Managed Care using the OMH MC Question/Complaint Form. This ensures all questions or complaints submitted can be reviewed and responded to by appropriate staff within OMH and/or the Department of Health.
