New York State, incentivized by additional funding made available through the ACA, industriously began the process of redesign with a variety of strategies, including the development of Health Homes for high-needs behavioral health consumers of health care. As huge networks of behavioral and health providers struggle to meet the requirements of Health Homes, all eyes are focused on 2014, when every Medicaid recipient is enrolled into managed care and is provided with care integration. Meanwhile, thousands more New Yorkers will become Medicaid eligible. 

This conference highlighted the visions and thoughts of our State and City government officials and other thought leaders as we rush to the culmination of behavioral and health redesign in 2014.
