NYS will receive $12 million in federal funding over six years for implementation of the CMS all-payer AHEAD Model, a global budget model that seeks to transform and stabilize certain hospitals.

Last week, the DOH selected 9 organizations to lead regional Social Care Networks aimed at integrating health care and social care under the State's Medicaid 1115 Waiver.

The association's comments noted that, although older adults are the state's fastest-growing demographic group, the waiver does little to address the unique needs of older adults, especially those who need long-term care services.

The transition to a single FI for CDPAP participants will begin in early 2025, with a goal of completion by April 1, 2025. 

LeadingAge NY members may find opportunities to participate in social care networks and to employ professionals trained through WIOs.

DOH has requested Letters of Interest for funding under the Safety Net Transformation Program.  To qualify, safety net hospitals must partner with other organizations.
