Webinar Replay: Medicaid Health Homes
Lessons from the Field for Successful Development, Implementation
This webinar was held on October 30, 2018.
Health Homes have been implemented in at least 22 states under the federal Medicaid Health Home state plan option, and initial results illustrate the potential for meaningful improvements in the quality and cost of care associated with serving individuals with chronic physical, mental, or behavioral conditions.
During this webinar, HMA experts discuss some of the key lessons learned in these early Health Home initiatives, with a special emphasis on the experience in New York and the District of Columbia. The webinar also provides practical solutions for the successful development, implementation, and refinement of Health Home care models.
