Care Coordination Organization Profile

Care Coordination Organization Profile

Understanding the Data

  • The Care Coordination Organization/Health Home Care Management Profile provides an overview of enrollment and care planning information for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities receiving OPWDD services.
  • Health Home Care Management, also known as Care Coordination, is provided by Care Coordination Organizations (CCOs). There are seven CCOs operating across New York State.
  • CCO Care Management is required for enrollment into OPWDD’s Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver.
  • The data displayed in this report represents statistics as of the end of calendar year 2022 with accompanying detail on data movements during January – December 2022.
  • The data is compiled from CCO roster data and self-reported information submitted to OPWDD through CCOs.
  • It is important to note that the COVID-19 health emergency has had a significant impact on all CCOs’ operations, therefore, the data presented in this report may not be representative of timelines or demographical information during a typical year.

Care Management Enrollment

Figure 1:  People Receiving Care Management Services by Program Type (as of December 31, 2022)
A pie graph that shows HCBS Basic Plan enrollees: 3,449 (3%) and Health Home enrollees: 112,487 (97%)

Individuals have a choice of two service options, Health Home care management which is the more comprehensive option, or HCBS Basic Plan Support, which is designed for individuals who do not need or want ongoing comprehensive care management.

The number of people receiving either Health Home or HCBS Basic Plan Support has remained constant at 97% and 3% respectively, since the implementation of CCOs.
