How are Service Funds Directed? System is needs based, not allocation based. Money is designed to flow to where it is needed The questions to ask are: –Does the provider network consist of providers who are accessible? –Do network providers have capacity? –Do providers provide all services within an authorization? –Are providers adequately reimbursed? –Is there a continuous marketing and outreach effort? –Can individuals file complaints and is that information captured and acted upon? –Are data on other performance tracked?
