Webinar: A Promising Collaboration: Managed Care and Independent Living

Event Description: 

In the wake of the shift to accountable and value-based care, and in light of the growing number of older adults and individuals with disabilities, many states are looking to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to provide these populations with coordinated healthcare and long-term services and supports (LTSS). Opportunities now exist in this new environment for community-based organizations (CBOs) experienced in providing these supportive services to partner with MCOs looking to tap into the expertise and deep community knowledge of local CBO providers.

This web seminar will highlight one such successful CBO–MCO partnership that used a2i case management and housing assistance interventions to improve the health and well-being of low-income people with disabilities and older adults, many of whom were homeless. Learn how these organizations were able to work together to achieve common goals and serve an especially vulnerable population.  

Presenters: Pamela Mokler, vice president of LTSS for Care1st Health Plan and Louis Frick, executive director of Access to Independence (a2i).
