NYS Medicaid PCMH Incentive Changes
Rate of PCMH incentives need to be adjusted due to:Fiscal constraints of the Medicaid Global Spending Cap
DSRIP success has increased participation in PCMH programs
Due to a payment lag from DOH for this incentive, changes must be made prior to July 2018 for State Fiscal year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020.
