MANAGED CARE:

Thoughts on the transition from various IDD stakeholder groups

There is a link below to the paper that SWAN, Statewide Advocacy Network of NY State, submitted to OPWDD about our concerns with the state’s plan to transition services to a Managed Care system instead of fee-for-service. We are urging OPWDD, the Dept of Health, and our representatives in State Government to reconsider the timeline and scope of this transition for the reasons within.

For those who are interested, we are also attaching several other position papers on this topic that various agencies and associations have also submitted to decision makers.  These are posted simply to keep you informed about what others in the field think.

WE ARE NOT ENDORSING ANY OF THESE OTHER DOCUMENTS

WE ARE NOT ENDORSING ANY OF THESE DOCUMENTS.   

SWAN will be doing a detailed analysis of the various elements and positions
