Dear HCBS Provider:
As the implementation date of Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) approaches, we would like to obtain more detailed information regarding HCBS provider networks in New York City and what the technical assistance needs are for designated HCBS providers. As such, the State is requesting that all designated HCBS providers in NYC complete the following brief survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NYC-HCBS.
The survey asks HCBS providers to indicate which Managed Care Plans they have contracts with and for which services, as well as provide feedback on the support needed for HCBS implementation. Providing this information will not change the status of your designation. This survey is intended to help the State facilitate more focused technical assistance for providers. Please note that this brief survey must be completed in one sitting and you will not be able to change your answers once it is submitted.
We are asking for one survey from each designated agency to be completed by Monday, August 31, 2015. If you have any questions, please email: omh.sm.co.HCBS-Application@omh.ny.gov.
Thank you for your continued efforts to improve behavioral health services within the State of New York.
