FIDA Updates

During the Thurs., June 11 Managed Care Policy and Planning meeting and the Fri., June 12 Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA) Plan call, the Department of Health (DOH) announced that the deadline for submitting FIDA plan alternative payment proposals has been extended from Wed., July 1 to Sat., Aug. 15. DOH will, however, accept and review proposals submitted earlier than the revised mid-August due date.

DOH is also hosting a Thurs., June 18 FIDA Outreach and Education Event. This is a roundtable for plans and providers that includes a presentation by FIDA plan medical directors on the benefits of FIDA, best practices and experiences. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Regional Office in Manhattan, located at 26 Federal Plaza on Broadway between Duane and Worth Streets. DOH advised that seating for the event is limited and you should contact CMS (Melissa.Seeley@cms.hhs.gov) to see if space is still available.
