Partners manages Medicaid, state and local funds for mental health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, substance use disorder and traumatic brain injury services. With the launch of Tailored Plans on July 1, 2024, Partners now covers physical health, pharmacy and non-medical emergency transportation. The system of care we manage is shaped by the choices of our members and their families and designed to meet the unique needs of each of the communities we serve. You won’t actually see us for your services. We are here to ensure the behavioral health care provider you choose in our network meets strict standards for the services they offer. You will often hear people call Partners a local management entity/managed care organization or LME/MCO.
We think of ourselves as an MCO…a Member Care Organization™. On our website, you can view Child Services listed in alphabetical order or go to Child 1915 (b)(3) Services and Child Residential Services. Child/Youth services are generally for Medicaid-eligible youth ages 3-20, and state/local funding eligible youth ages 3-17. Any different age requirements will be noted in the service definitions.
