Capital District Health Home Network
The Children’s Health Home of the Capital District is a new Health Home that offers comprehensive Care Management services to New York State Medicaid recipient children in Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady counties.
The goal of the New York State Department of Health Children’s Health Home program is to make sure children with Medicaid who have complex physical and/or behavioral health conditions get access to the care and services they need in order to be healthy.
The Health Home partners with other children’s service agencies that provide Care Management to enrolled children.
A dedicated Care Manager is assigned to the child and is responsible for coordinating all of their medical and behavioral health services. The Care Manager helps the child and family understand their chronic condition and manage their symptoms and ensures that all of the treatment team partners involved with the child are working together.
