The ECC pilot program is a NH Medicaid initiative that offers comprehensive, patient-centered medical management and care coordination. The program works with Medicaid recipients who are Medicaid eligible through the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (APTD) categories of assistance and existing DHHS funded community based case managers.  The goal of the program is to optimize health outcomes and improve quality of care for these recipients.

In addition to ensuring coordinated medical and behavioral health services and developing individualized health care plans for Medicaid recipients with complex health care needs, program components also include fostering the concept of a medical home, reducing hospital readmissions and emergency room use, provider outreach and support, including convening case conferences as needed.

Program evaluation components include: calculations of cost savings as a result program operations, clinical quality improvements of selected HEDIS measures, recipient satisfaction and a control group study of persons not enrolled in the ECC program.

The Department, with the approval of the Governor and Executive Council, has awarded a three-year contract to Schaller Anderson Medical Administrators, Incorporated of Phoenix, Arizona to implement the ECC program.  The Contractor has an office located in Concord, NH.
