Shared Risk Contracting

Medicaid Managed Care Organizations and Behavioral Health Providers have the potential to partner and improve health care quality and control rising costs, particularly for complex, high-need members. Coordinating behavioral health and medical services, and/or providing evidenced-based programs, may help to dramatically improve quality of care and reap significant savings from avoidable emergency room and inpatient utilization.

The SPARC Network will custom design shared savings programs that work to reduce health care spending for high-cost member populations, while simultaneously increasing the quality of service delivery and outcomes.

In Home Therapy Services (IHTS)

In Home Therapy Services (IHTS) is a combination of the Evidenced-Based Therapy Practice Motivational Interviewing and coordination of care interventions provided in the home and community to children and their families where there are complex clinical needs that traditional outpatient therapy cannot adequately address.

IHTS is a time limited service, approximately 6 months, in which the Therapist and the QP work with the child and their family to meet the therapeutic needs as well as provide linkage to professional and natural supports. The Therapist will provide individual and family therapy to address the child’s mental health needs as well as family systems issues and needs that may complicate traditional outpatient therapy from being successful. The QP will approach the care coordination through the philosophies of System of Care and will work with the various systems involved with the child and family, such as DSS, DJJ, Primary Care, and School System. Upon discharge from IHTS services, children and their

families will be able to continue to receive Outpatient Therapy from the Therapist to ensure continuity of care. The child/family will receive a minimum of 2 hours/week of therapy and care coordination activities.

The goals of IHTS are to:

1 Reduce presenting mental health/psychiatric symptoms

Family Centered Treatment® (FCT)

Family Centered Treatment® (FCT) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) that is currently being provided in various states. FCT has been gradually formalized into a model of home-based treatment that lowers rates of out of home placements. It has been refined based on research, experience and evidence of effectiveness derived from practice. The foundations of the model are from eco-structural family therapy (Minuchin) and emotionally focused therapy (Johnson). FCT is a systemic family systems change model. The third phase of treatment, valuing changes (through use of paradoxical and experiential exercises), seeks to confirm and capitalize on internal changes within the family so that the family is not dependent on the therapist once services terminate. Services are intensive with a minimum of 10 hours per month provided to the family. FCT incorporates coordination with other systems, such as MCO, DSS and DJJ as well as 24/7/365 Crisis Intervention.

This service is targeted towards:

1. Consumers with prior treatment episodes of residential treatment with unsuccessful  family reunification,

2. Consumers at risk for higher levels of residential, such as Level III,

3. Consumers who have been hospitalized with little prior treatment where hospital is  recommending residential services,

4. Consumers currently in residential treatment where discharge is being prolonged due  to lack of family systems work to make this successful Consumers with extensive histories of utilizing enhanced services without successful  outcomes.
