  9. Moving Forward – The OASAS Vision • Patients will: • have their care coordinated, • have access to a peer to help bridge treatment and recovery, • have access to greater recovery supports, and • have more input into treatment that supports an improved quality of life.

  10. Protecting the Path Forward • Segregate and track behavioral health spending • Make sure BHOs are not pushed towards mental health rather than SUD • We will require managed care plans to: • Use APG pricing for two years • Reimburse for CASAC services • Include in plan networks providers in treatment relationships with patients in those plans • Use our level of care tool, the OASAS LOCATDR 3
