Integrated Healthcare Partners
About Us
Integrated Healthcare Partners (IHP) participates in the Accountable Entity (AE) program for the RI Medicaid enrolled population that was implemented by the RI Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). The overall goal of the program is to improve quality, reduce the total cost of care, and shift from service-based payments to quality-based payments. IHP is the only AE in the state composed of eight partners: four Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and four Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). Other AEs in the state may only be composed of a single private practice, a single FQHC, or a hospital-based primary care practice. IHP has contracted with two Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCO): Neighborhood Health Plan of RI (NHPRI) and UnitedHealthcare (UHC).The RI Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) receives funding from the federal government to implement and sustain an Accountable Entity (AE) program for the RI Medicaid enrolled population.
