The GraniteCare Proposal was presented to the NH Legislature on November 10, 2004. The plan carefully details proposed changes to the NH Medicaid program as a NH Medicaid Modernization Initiative.
GraniteCare is a proposed quality system of care that addresses many important health care issues within the NH Medicaid System without reducing eligibility levels or services. GraniteCare provides medical, developmental and rehabilitative services to those in need in New Hampshire, including those citizens with disabilities, both behavioral and physical, and the poor, with an emphasis on children and seniors.
The concepts driving GraniteCare are the result of an open planning process that sought broad community and key stakeholder input. The development process for GraniteCare has been one that has sought public input across the State and across a wide spectrum of disciplines of those who would be familiar with the effects of the transformation of the current Medicaid program.
The Guiding Principles of the GraniteCare Program begin with:
-
Quality and Prevention -
Consumer Empowerment and Choice -
