Bronx Equity Integrated Care for Kids New York (BE-InCK NY)

The Integrated Care for Kids (InCK) Model is a child-centered local service delivery and state payment model that aims to reduce expenditures and improve the quality of care for children under 21 years of age and pregnant individuals of all ages who are covered by Medicaid. The model will empower states and local providers to deliver better physical and behavioral healthcare through prevention, early identification and treatment. This project was awarded to the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) in 2020, and Montefiore Einstein was selected as the lead organization.

In collaboration with the NYS DOH, the name Bronx Equity-InCK NY (BE-InCK NY) was chosen to highlight our commitment to addressing equity issues to successfully improve the overall wellness and health outcomes in the Bronx community. Our model strives to improve access to care, support and services as well as the integration of primary and specialty care, while reducing avoidable inpatient stays and out-of-home placements. We will achieve this using a two-generation approach to care while applying a health equity lens to all the work we do.

This project is supported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as part of an award totaling $12,000,000 as of 2024, with 0% financed from nongovernmental sources.
