The proposed project is a Program Enhancement of a project funded by a FY2004 AoA Integrated Care Management grant. FY2005 funding was used to continue to help the aging services network develop the organizational structure and tools needed to assume or share risk in a capitated managed care system and to partner with a for profit HMO or managed care organization. Specifically, Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services, CARES, the Suncoast Center, and the Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas will determine an organizational structure for and develop a corporate entity that could partner with a managed care organization or become its own MCO to provide integrated long-term care services for elders. Project activities target three state-funded community-based agencies and the local Area Agency on Aging. Ultimately, the project is meant to benefit the Medicaid-eligible low income and minority elders that these agencies serve. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) creation of a corporate entity that will partner with an MCO or become an MCO; 2) risk-sharing partnership with an MCO or HMO for integrated long-term care services for elders; 3) assessment of how services to the severely mentally ill may fit into managed care.
