LIFEPlan CCO NY serves more than 17,000 people and employs about 600 professional staff, including over 500 care managers. According to the state, CCOs are a family’s “single access point” for services. The services are coordinated by care managers using electronic records to create a single, individualized plan, called a life plan, which will replace the current individualized service plan, per the release.
“This new system is revolutionizing the way people with disabilities receive care coordination services,” Cappoletti contended in the release. “Under CCOs, people receive one single comprehensive and holistic plan with a greater focus on outcomes, measuring the real, positive impact they have on peoples’ lives. Supports, services, and even outside services will be combined for better visibility to the patient, family, caregiver and health care provider. The overall well-being of people with disabilities now holds significant weight in their care.”
