State Demonstration to Integrate Care for Dual Eligible Individuals

Federal Office: CMMI/Federal Coordinated Health Care Office

CMS will provide funding and technical assistance to states to develop person-centered approaches to coordinate care across primary, acute, behavioral health and long-term supports and services for dual eligible individuals. The goal is to identify and validate delivery system and payment coordination models that can be tested and replicated in other states.

Funds:

Each state will be rewarded up to $1 million to develop a model.

Awardees:

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin

Next Steps:

Of the states that have been selected, those that engage with beneficiaries and other stakeholders and successfully complete their design contract may be eligible to receive additional support to implement their proposals. After federal review of the proposals, CMS will work with states to implement the plans that hold the most promise.
