1 Year Review

Our Story

Care Design NY was created with the involvement and participation of over 70 agencies with long and successful histories of specializing in the provision of services to children and adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). Our story is rooted specifically in the provision of Medicaid Service Coordination.

The agencies recognized that with the requirement for New York State to provide Medicaid Service Coordination in a conflict-free way, and to increase the provision of that service to a more elevated “Care Management," they wanted to be involved and on the forefront of that transformation.

We are stronger with the involvement of all of our partners. One in particular, Partners Health Plan (PHP), is the only managed care health plan for individuals with I/DD in New York State.

Managed Care

Managed Care is the next step toward ensuring the best care coordination with more flexibility and choice in your services resulting in better outcomes for you.

New York State has been working carefully to design the right Managed Care program for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

"I believe that Managed Care, if done right, offers the potential for individuals and families to gain better and more timely access to services, and offers service providers the ability to focus more on quality of services and meeting the outcomes desired by individuals and families.”

Care Design NY, CEO

In their own words!

We have experienced, talented and committed leadership at Care Design NY.

Here is our Chief Operating Officer, Anne Ogden, describe our agency and the services we offer.

Formation of CCO's

With Federal and State approval, beginning July 1, 2018, New York State initiated the transformation of the State's system of services for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) to better integrate services, promote the better use of resources to meet growing and changing needs, and become truly person-centered.
