  5. Outreach and Engagement Payments • Existing case management slots (i.e., OMH TCM, COBRA, MATS) will bill at 100% of the approved PMPM rate for Outreach and Engagement • For new Health Home members, case management fee will be paid in two increments: outreach and engagement or active case management • Outreach and engagement for new members will be paid at a reduced percentage (80%) of the active care management PMPM

  6. Outreach and Engagement Payments and Time Period • The outreach and engagement PMPM will be available for the three (3)months. If outreach and engagement is unsuccessful, the provider may not bill again for three (3)months from the conclusion of the outreach and engagement period • All Health Home outreach and engagement activities are billable under the monthly PMPM as long as one of the six (6) core services are provided in the billed quarter • Once a patient has been assigned a care manager and has consented, the full active case management PMPM may be billed on the first day of that month

  7. Health Home Payments • Rates will be set based on region and case mix (clinical acuity). Eventually rates will be further adjusted by member functional status • Providers should submit one claim per month using the first of the month as the date of service • Monthly payments to health plans (MC patients), provider-led Health Homes (FFS patients) and converting TCM programs (both MC and FFS patients) will be made through eMedNY
