Access Health Care Long Island Coalition
The Health & Welfare Council of Long Island has secured funds through the New York State Health Foundation to administer a bi-county workgroup, the Access Health Care Long Island Coalition, comprised of both the Nassau and Suffolk County Departments of Social Services, Facilitated Enrollment lead agencies, managed care organizations and community-based organizations.
Access Health Care Long Island Coalition (AHCLIC), a non-competitive, collaborative workgroup of high level staff involved in all aspects of facilitated enrollment, will create logical systems for enrolling, retaining, and efficiently serving managed care enrollees while meeting all regulatory requirements.
The workgroup's objectives are:
- to increase the number of Long Island individuals enrolled and retained in one of the State's programs,
- to decrease the error rate of eligible individuals found ineligible for "non-documented" compliance, and
- to decrease the time it takes for determinations to be made and communicated.
