Technical assistance and replication of service credit banking programs

The Foundation's Service Credit Banking in Managed Care program was designed to provide technical assistance and information for replication of service credit banking programs and demonstrate the feasibility of establishing a financially self-sustaining project within a managed care organization.This grant supports technical assistance and replication of the service credit banking (SCB) concept. The NPO staff will determine the feasibility of establishing a self-supporting service credit banking model within managed care organizations and, if successful, disseminate information about the model to interested organizations. Several interrelated objectives are included: (1) implement a managed care organization/service credit banking (MCO/SCB) model at Family Medical Group in Los Angeles, California; (2) if successful, expand the MCO/SCB model in five additional sites; (3) establish an Information Center to provide resources to developing SCB sites; (4) create a newsletter for disseminating information on SCB activities; and (5) conduct site visits and an annual conference on SCB.
