The Center for Health Care Strategies, Inc. has published a brief on implementing health homes in risk-based Medicaid managed care systems.  The authors examine how states can advance health home programming within existing risk-based Medicaid managed care systems.

From the report:

Health homes present a significant opportunity for Medicaid programs to change the way care is delivered to some of the
most vulnerable Americans and to curb growing health care costs. Likewise, they also present a transition for MCOs − specifically, an opportunity for them to redefine their role and confirm their value. Innovative and forward-thinking MCOs will recognize and seize the opportunity to position themselves for the future, differentiate themselves from their peers and change care management as we know it.
