One of the ACA programs is Medicaid "health homes," which is a new state Medicaid option that allows eligible individuals to seek care through a PCMH-like model. To qualify for health home services, eligible Medicaid enrollees must meet one of three requirements. What are those three requirements and what is Medicaid's role if those requirements are met?


The three requirements are that the individual must have:

a . A serious and persistent mental illness
b. Two chronic conditions (qualifying chronic conditions are specified by the law)
c. One chronic condition and be at risk of developing a second

Under the law, a Medicaid health home is responsible for providing or coordinating all patient care.
