The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) announced that one of the three health plans managing health care for dually eligible ages 21 to 64 through the One Care Demonstration Program will be dropping out.
As of September 30, 2015, Fallon Total Care will be parting ways with the capitated financial alignment program, which will leave Commonwealth Care Alliance and Network Health as the remaining plans. Fallon Total Care provides One Care coverage in Hampden, Hampshire, and Worcester counties to approximately 5,475 individuals and represented the second largest enrollment of the three plans. Commonwealth Care Alliance, as of the May 2015 enrollment report, was handling 10,305 dually eligible individuals.
“MassHealth assures members who are currently enrolled with Fallon Total Care (FTC) that we will work hard to ensure as smooth a transition as possible, working with current members, FTC, the other One Care plans, our partners at CMS, advocates, and the One Care Implementation Council,” stated MassHealth in a brief statement. “One Care members will not lose their MassHealth or Medicare, and all members will have continuous access to health care services, supportive services, and medications.”
MassHealth also promised further updates on the transition and did not share any reasoning for Fallon Total Care departing the One Care Program.
