CDPHP has partnered with Catholic Charities Care Coordination Services on The Community Health Project, an outreach program that serves portions of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Washington counties.

This free program is for select CDPHP Medicaid and Child Health Plus members who are underutilizing preventive care services, including cancer screenings, well visits, comprehensive diabetes care, and regular dental care visits. Trained Community Health Workers from Catholic Charities reach out to these members to offer a variety of support services, such as:

• Connecting with a primary care doctor and other preventive health care services
• Scheduling appointments and providing reminder calls
• Coordinating and/or providing transportation
• Offering gift cards as incentives for completing appointments
• Helping members understand and connect to resources available through their CDPHP benefits, including medical and behavioral health case management and tools to stay healthy.
