Webinar: OPWDD CCO/Health Home Billing Process
This webinar will focus on the anticipated billing process and tools CCO/HH will need to have in place. Considering the first year CCO/HH will not employ all care coordinators but instead will contract with agencies to provide this service, adds a layer of complexity in the billing structure that needs to be efficiently managed. Millin Associates currently works with nearly half the Health Homes in NY State that have been established to serve the behavioral health population and will share its experience as it relates to the billing process and discuss some of the anticipated differences.
