New York State Department of Health/Health Research - Humberto Cruz, Director - Division of HIV Health Care, Corning Tower, Room 459, Empire State Plaza, Albany NY 12237; 518.473.7781 (phone), 518.473.0031 (fax), or email at hxc01@health.state.ny.us.
Grant Title: New York State Managed Care Demonstration Project for HIV-Infected Persons.
Project Period: 10/94-09/98.
Description: This project will involve a dynamic data collection effort to generate information related to cost, utilization and access to care as persons with HIV/AIDS transition from fee-for-service to a managed care environment. Cost and utilization data collected will be used to validate risk-adjusted payment rates for HIV/AIDS and to develop accurate cost estimates that will be used in structuring HIV Special Needs Plans. Access to care will be evaluated through a representative survey of the experiences of persons with HIV and AIDS as they seek and use services during the period of transition to Medicaid managed care. Financial, administrative and organizational information necessary to develop managed care Special Needs Plans that ensure appropriate access to and quality of care will be collected from organizations awarded HIV Special Needs Plans planning grants.
