New York State (NYS) invites Children and Families enrolled in the following Medicaid waiver programs to learn about changes happening to the Children’s Medicaid System and what that means for you, including additional opportunities coming your way:

NYS Agency Waiver

Department of Health Care at Home I/II (CAH I/II)

Office of Mental Health Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED)

Office of Children and Bridges to Health (B2H)
Family Services

Office for People with Care at Home (CAH)
Developmental Disabilities

NYS agencies DOH, OMH, OCFS, OPWDD, and OASAS have been working to ensure that Medicaid services are delivered in a way that works best for children and families.

This includes making sure that children have access to all of the services they need, regardless of what their primary health needs may be.

It also means children and families have a say in what services they want, where services are delivered, and how services are provided.

Join us on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 and Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. to hear about what is happening with NYS Children’s Medicaid in the coming year and ask important questions about your care. These webinars will be recorded and available online.
