Rhode Island Medicaid implemented the Connect Care Choice program in September 2007. This program builds on a primary care case management (PCCM) program structure to provide access to advanced medical homes for adults with chronic conditions. In addition, Rhode Island's Health Insurance Commissioner convened the Rhode Island Chronic Care Sustainability Initiative to translate medical home principles into a multi-payer pilot. The Initiative includes representatives of payers, purchasers, and providersóincluding Medicaid and all commercial payers. The pilot began October 2008 and will run for two years in five practices serving more than 25,000 people. Much of the structure was developed based on the Connect Care Choice experience.
Targeted Population: Medicaid adults.
