LIFEPlan CCO NY is a Care Coordination Organization (CCO) operating in New York State that provides comprehensive care management services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Established in response to New York State’s transition to a more integrated care management system, LIFEPlan CCO began operations in July 2018. The organization serves multiple regions across New York State, including Central New York, Southern Tier, North Country, and Capital Region. LIFEPlan CCO works within the framework established by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to provide Health Home Care Management services. Their core services include person-centered planning, coordination of medical and behavioral healthcare, and assistance with accessing community-based services and supports. Care Managers at LIFEPlan CCO work directly with individuals and their families to develop and maintain Life Plans, which outline goals, services, and supports needed to enhance the quality of life for people with I/DD. The organization operates under a conflict-free care management model, meaning they are independent of service providers, allowing for unbiased coordination of services. LIFEPlan CCO maintains partnerships with numerous service providers and community organizations to ensure comprehensive support for their members.
