The GraniteCare Enhanced Care Coordination Pilot Program is a new initiative that aims to provide comprehensive, patient-centered medical management and care coordination to optimize health outcomes and improve quality of care. The  program will work with Medicaid recipients in the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (APTD) eligible populations.

 

In addition to ensuring coordinated medical and behavioral health services and individualized health care plans focused on prevention for Medicaid recipients with complex health care needs, the program components also include: fostering the concept of a medical home, establishing a 24/7 nurse advice line, implementation of standardized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for decision making, provider outreach and support, client incentive programs, and quality improvement via benchmarking, establishing performance standards and outcomes measurement.

 

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.  The Contractor will be establishing an office in Concord, NH and begin full operations by July 1, 2007.
