A core piece of the New York State Health Equity Reform (NYSHER) 1115 Waiver program is the development of Social Care Networks (SCNs). Care Compass Collaborative was selected to be the Social Care Network lead entity for Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Tioga, and Tompkins County.
What are Social Care Networks? SCNs are tasked with delivering Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) services to the Medicaid population. Networks will bring together health care systems, community-based organizations, behavioral health providers, and other social service providers to expand access to critical unmet needs.

1115 Waiver Extension: Federal Public Comment Letter Workshop
Join us on Friday, October 23rd at 10:00 AM for a one-hour workshop designed to help you draft and submit your organization’s public comment letter for the proposed 1115 waiver renewal. This workshop will feature a brief overview of the key components and best practices for submitting a federal public comment letter, as well as time to ask related questions.
Public comments and member impact stories submitted by organizations providing services through the Social Care Network and related eco-system are critical in demonstrating to both New York State (NYS) and the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) the quantitative and qualitative impact of our work. Your insights, experiences, and perspectives help ensure that local needs and successes are reflected in future planning and decision-making. Your voice matters!
