Community-Based Collaborative Care Networks
Provides grants to eligible entities to support community-based collaborative care networks, defined as a consortium of providers with a joint governance structure that provides comprehensive coordinated and integrated care to low-income populations. Networks must include (1) a hospital meeting the required level of Medicaid inpatient utilization or low-income utilization that applies to disproportionate share hospitals, and (2) all FQHCs located in the community. Grant funds could be used to assist low-income individuals to access and appropriately use health services, enroll in health coverage programs and obtain a regular primary care provider or medical home; provide case management and care management; perform health outreach using neighborhood health workers or other means; provide transportation; expand capacity through telehealth, after-hours services or urgent care; and provide direct patient care services. Authorizes such funds as may be necessary for 2011-2015. (Sec. 10333)
