Organization:
DC Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF)
On January 1, 2016, DHCF will launch a new benefit for Medicaid beneficiaries with mental health care needs, called My DC Health Home, that will help coordinate a person’s full array of health and social service needs—including primary and hospital health services; mental health care, substance abuse care and long-term care services and supports. My DC Health Homes are community-based mental health providers, as known as Core Services Agencies, which have hired nurses, primary care doctors and others with social and health-related backgrounds, to create Care Teams. Each person that decides to receive services through the My DC Health Home benefit will be linked with a Care Team who will work with the person’s doctors, family and anyone else the person selects to:
Pay special attention to their health care needs;
Make sure needed medical services are received; and
Help get needed social services, such as housing and food.
Application: Speak with your doctor about enrolling in the program.
