3 <br /> Draft Language for Proposed Letter <br /> April 16, 2019 <br /> TO: Commissioners Beale and Graham <br /> Co-Chairs of Tailored Plan Region Development Committee <br /> FROM: Board of Orange County Commissioners <br /> RE: Preference for Tailored Plan Region <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the Phase II of Medicaid Transformation <br /> and the process to recommend the composition of regions for Tailored Plans. The Board of <br /> Orange County Commissioners has considered its preference for a Tailored Plan region, and we <br /> believe the most effective system would connect Orange County with the other counties in the <br /> Research Triangle, namely Durham and Wake Counties. <br /> From a service perspective, Orange County shares a regional transportation system, a regional <br /> workforce, and a network of providers with Durham and Wake Counties. Orange County <br /> conducted a study of the provider network available to residents with behavioral health needs, <br /> and many providers used by Orange County residents are located in Durham County. Other <br /> non-profit providers also serve residents from Orange, Durham, and Wake Counties. A good <br /> example of that is CASA which operates in Durham, Wake and Orange counties to provide <br /> housing for people with mental illness. Their operations and client access would be more <br /> efficient if Orange County were grouped with Durham and Wake counties. <br /> In the interest of the residents we serve, the Board of Orange County Commissioners is <br /> requesting to become a part of a Tailored Plan region that includes Durham and Wake <br /> Counties. Connecting these counties would provide greater access, more varied services, and <br /> better public transportation opportunities than any other alignment. <br /> Thank you again for this opportunity to provide input into the Tailored Plan regions. If we can <br /> provide any additional information, please contact our County Manager's Office. <br />
