Medicaid Matters New York
To support a statewide Medicaid consumer advocacy coalition seeking to improve access to services.
Center for Home Care Policy and Research, Visiting Nurse Service of New York
To analyze patient characteristics, service utilization patterns, spending, and health outcomes for home care beneficiaries in four Medicaid community-based long-term care programs, in order to inform system redesign options.
Community Health Care Association of New York State
To implement the New York State Department of Health Presumptive Eligibility protocol at New York City community health centers, designed to expedite and facilitate the enrollment of uninsured children into the Medicaid program.
Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, Center for Children and Families

Medicaid Client Notices Project
To partner with the New York State Department of Health Office of Health Insurance Programs--and a working group of legal services organizations, advocacy groups, and local government--to evaluate and revise a subset of high-priority Medicaid client notices.
Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University
To utilize statewide Medicaid claims and encounter data to improve understanding of personal care utilization and costs, and to assess the impact of mandatory managed care on SSI patients.
Bellevue Hospital Center
To extend an existing Bellevue pilot program that provides intensive care management for high-cost fee-for-service Medicaid patients.
Health Care Research, Inc.
To work with the United Hospital Fund by providing paid claims and related encounter data and technical assistance. As more Medicaid beneficiaries move into managed care, it becomes more critical that the Fund has complete and accurate encounter data for its analyses. These data constitute the foundation of the Fund's research into New York State's Medicaid program, which focuses on patterns of eligibility, service use, and cost.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine
To study the effect of hospital palliative care programs on the service use and costs of Medicaid patients from a group of hospitals in New York State. Palliative care is commonly thought to be a Medicare-related issue, but data show that, in some hospitals, Medicaid is the primary payer for a significant percentage of terminally ill patients. This grant will allow the School of Medicine to document patterns in Medicaid expenditures and identify ways in which services could be modified to reduce costs and improve appropriateness and quality of care.
Medicaid High-Cost Care Initiative
To better serve high-cost Medicaid patients and reduce Medicaid spending on their care, through the Fund's Medicaid High-Cost Care Initiative.
