Regarding yesterday’s announcement:
NYAPRS Note: See below for information regarding regional forums to prepare providers for the transition to behavioral health managed care. Starting in NYC next Tuesday and finishing in Buffalo on September 18, these forums are a way for providers to learn how to develop infrastructure and programmatic systems to meet the demands of contracting with a Medicaid Managed Care Company.
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), Office of and Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), Department of Health (DOH), and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) are pleased to announce a series of Behavioral Health Medicaid Managed Care Kick-Off Forums.
