Health Homes Care Management

A Health Home is not a place; it is a group of health care and service providers working together to make sure your child gets the care and services needed to stay healthy.

Health Homes are a part of the New York State Medicaid program and available to Medicaid-eligible children who have health/mental health concerns and conditions that may benefit from the careful planning and service coordination provided by Care Management. The goal is to promote optimal care for your child.

Green Chimneys is proud to be a Health Home Care Management Agency, helping to coordinate the full range of services your child may need. This may mean fewer trips to the emergency room or less time spent in the hospital. It could mean getting regular care and services from doctors and providers. Or it may be finding a safe place to live and a way to get to medical appointments.

Health Homes Services

Once you enroll in a Health Home, a Care Manager will work with you to develop a plan of care for your child. Specific services may include:

  • Helping identify doctors and other care providers
  • Ensuring the coordination of all the services your child receives
  • Providing information on medications, benefits to which you may be entitled and resources/supports in your community
  • Linking you to in-home services such as respite and skill building

Our services are individualized to support the unique strengths and needs of each child. Our collaborative relationships with providers throughout the region allow us to ensure that your child will have access to the services they need most.
