Integration of Community-Oriented Recovery and Empowerment (CORE) Services
The New York State Department of Health (DOH), Office of Mental Health (OMH) and Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) finalized the integration of behavioral health (BH) services into the Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP) product line benefit package, effective January 1, 2023. As a result, Elderplan Plus Long-Term Care (HMO D-SNP) now covers behavioral health (mental health and addiction) services/benefits for eligible members.
To coordinate behavioral health (mental health and addiction) services/benefits for your patient and our Member, including CORE services, please submit all inquiries and requests to our partner, Carelon Behavioral Health, at the following address: [email protected]. Providers can call Carelon at (833) 918-0808 for any questions.
Elderplan uses OPTUM as our Claims Editing Software.
