Join David Rogers, President of Florida Community Care, as he explores their recent award of Florida’s new Comprehensive Intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) Managed Care Program and what this means for the future of I/DD services on a national level.
Historically, the I/DD population receiving waiver services has been excluded from Medicaid managed care enrollment. The tide is beginning to turn with ten states having specific long-term care managed care plans for persons with I/DD. His recent award of a six-year contract from The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration to Florida Community Care, LLC, to pilot a managed care plan for people living with I/DD is a strong signal of states’ interest in how to better manage Medicaid benefits for the I/DD and LTCC populations. Throughout the pilot, 900 beneficiaries with I/DD will receive comprehensive medical, long-term care, and home- and community-based services (HCBS) waiver services.
In this session, gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of this contract, including the overall goal of what The State Of Florida is trying to accomplish, how Florida Community Care plans to embrace this complex Medicaid population, and what key outcomes will be evaluated for the short-term pilot.
