New York Federal-State Health Reform Partnership

The Federal-State Health Reform Partnership (F-SHRP) Demonstration provides authority to mandate managed care enrollment for beneficiaries receiving SSI or who otherwise are aged or disabled, requires recipients in low-income families (AFDC-related) in 14 upstate counties to enroll in mandatory managed care, provides federal matching funds for designated state health programs, and requires the State to implement reforms to promote the efficient operation of the State's health care system. The demonstration is funded by savings generated from mandatory managed care enrollment for the SSI population.
