Specialty Mental Health Care Management Services
The Sayville Project’s Specialty Mental Health Care Management Program is an offshoot of the NYS Medicaid Health Home Program providing intensive support and services to Health Home members with a primary psychiatric condition who are at most risk, commonly referred to as Health Home Plus (HH+) services. Overseen by the NYS Office of Mental Health and the NYS Department of Health, HH+ is an intensive Health Home Care Management (HHCM) service established for defined populations with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) who are enrolled in a Health Home.
