Article Publication Date
Summary
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center has introduced several new models over the past year to test approaches aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing costs.
A new “Policy Cheat Sheet” from the Center for Health Care Strategies provides state with a clear, at-a-glance reference for the new Innovation Center models, including BALANCE, GENEROUS, GLOBE, GUARD, ACCESS, ASM and MAHA ELEVATE.
This resource details each model’s key features, including a brief description, target population, model participants, CMS’ intended outcomes, implications for Medicaid, and important dates. State Medicaid agencies may be particularly interested in BALANCE, GENEROUS, and LEAD, which either allow or incorporate Medicaid participation.
