NYS recorded a webinar on the Children’s Medicaid System Transformation in NYS in order to present this information to children and families.

The content mirrors what was presented during the June In-Person Discussions with Children and Families.

This webinar focused on managed care billing and contracting as well as medical necessity, referrals, and recommendations for Family Peer Support Services. Also included a few case examples of FPSS.

This webinar also covered the various target populations, how/when to determine which HCBS will be most effective for the child, and making appropriate referrals.
