Concord, NH - The NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is announcing an additional information session on the new Medicaid Care Management program to be held in Berlin at the Androscoggin Valley Hospital on July 12th. This session is in addition to 11 other sessions being held throughout June and July around the State.
The meetings are for those who use Medicaid services as well as family members and caregivers and for human service agency case managers or service coordinators who work with them. Others are welcome to attend if they are interested.
Information covered will be on the first step of the new Medicaid Care Management program scheduled to launch later this year. The first step encompasses those Medicaid services that address medical needs, such as doctor visits, inpatient and outpatient hospital visits, prescriptions, mental health services, home health services, speech therapy and audiology services. Enrollment for the new program is projected to begin in October and services in December.
Meeting topics will include basic information about:
- When the new program will start
- What people will have to do when signing up for the program
- How people can pick a Care Management health plan
- How the new program will work
All of the sessions will cover the same information, so people need to attend only one.
This is an information meeting only. It is not for signing people up for the new Care Management program. That will happen later in the year.
Registration is not required, but is appreciated. To register go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CareMgt
