Impetus for FCP

• Family Ownership– Participation/cancellations– Incentive to seek realistic/appropriate services

• Change idea that Part C is “free program”

• Additional funding to reduce GR requests

Process

• 1999 – FCP discussed during Redesign

• 2002 – Internal LA discussions

• 2003 – Discuss with Div of Ins & CFO; – use report from redesign as part of data– Proposed with no opposition– Criteria: Collection of fees/access to

insurance uniform (no sliding scale)

Lessons Learned

• Reasons for pursuing FCP = Reasons to defeat FCP (free service)

• Perceived Ins Impact v Perceived Family impact (harm Insurance w/o significant benefit for family or state)

• Lack of statewide understanding of Part C services
