Health and Recovery Plans (HARPs) are Medicaid Managed Care plans that pay for your physical and behavioral health care. EE Pathways staff specializes in behavioral health (mental health and substance use) and are available to listen and work with you. 

 

To find out more about CORE Services, contact your Medicaid Health and Recovery Plan or your Behavioral Health service provider. You can also visit www.omh.ny.gov to learn more.

 

NOTE: You must be 21 or older to join a HARP, be insured only by Medicaid and be eligible for Medicaid managed care. EE Pathways staff are available to help you understand if you qualify for HARP and other free services offered through HARP as listed on this page.

HCBS provides opportunities for Medicaid beneficiaries to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve a variety of targeted populations groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and/or mental illnesses. HCBS can help you achieve your life goals and be more involved in your community. If you are qualified for HCBS, you can:

​

  • Receive guidance to support your daily living and social skills

  • Learn how to advocate for yourself and negotiate relationships

  • If needed, get treatment and rehabilitation services in your own home
