DOH FIDA Webinar

CMS and New York State signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) clearing the way for the state to begin enrolling 170,000 participants into designated Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA) plans as early as July 2014. The initiative will integrate Medicare and Medicaid services for adults eligible for both programs in New York City, Long Island and Westchester County. DOH summarized key points of the FIDA MOU and answered stakeholder questions during a webinar held on Aug. 29. The slides from the presentation are here. A link to the webinar itself is scheduled to be available on the DOH FIDA web page later this week. LeadingAge NY is completing an analysis of the MOU that will be distributed to members in the next few days.
