I. Background
The Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Innovation (the Innovation
Center) within the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) was
established by section 1115A of the
Social Security Act (the Act). The
Congress created the Innovation Center
for the purpose of testing ‘‘innovative
payment and service delivery models to
reduce program expenditures . . . while
preserving or enhancing the quality of
care’’ for those individuals who receive
Medicare, Medicaid, or Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
benefits. New payment and service
delivery model tests are designed by the
Innovation Center in accordance with
the requirements of section 1115A of the
Act. During the design of a model test,
the Innovation Center builds on the
ideas received from stakeholders and
consults with clinical and analytical
experts with expertise in medicine and
health care management, as well as with
representatives of relevant Federal
agencies, beneficiaries and caregivers,
health care providers, advocacy groups,
and other experts in the field.
The Innovation Center is interested in
designing a potential payment or service
delivery model to improve health care
quality and access, while lowering the
cost of care for Medicare, Medicaid, or
CHIP beneficiaries with behavioral
health conditions. The model may
include participation by other payers,
qualify as an Advanced Alternative
Payment Model (APM), improve health
care provider participation in telehealth
services, and address the needs of
beneficiaries with deficits in care in the
following potential areas leading to poor
clinical outcomes or potentially
avoidable expenditures: (1) Substance
use disorders; (2) mental disorders in
the presence of co-occuring conditions;
(3) Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias; and/or (4) behavioral health
workforce challenges.
The Innovation Center solicits and
selects organizations to participate in
voluntary model tests through open,
competitive processes. The process
follows established protocols to ensure
that it is fair and transparent, provides
opportunities for potential participants
to ask questions regarding the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:50 Jul 20, 2017
Jkt 241001
Innovation Center’s expectations, and
relies on multi-stakeholder input to
inform selection of the most qualified
participants. Many factors are used in
the design and selection of models to be
tested. The Innovation Center does not
test unsolicited proposals, but does use
such ideas to inform model design.
II. Meeting Topic and Format
The meeting will include four panel
sessions of behavioral health experts of
varied backgrounds who will discuss
substance use disorders, mental health
in the presence of co-occuring
conditions, Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias, and behavioral
health workforce development.
All stakeholders, including
community health organizations,
medical societies, health care providers,
State Medicaid agencies, advocacy
groups, non-profit organizations, and
other interested parties are invited to
participate in this meeting by: (1)
Listening to panelists discuss payment
for and delivery of behavioral health
services and share experiences of
furnishing behavioral health services;
(2) asking questions to panelists; and (3)
making brief individual statements. We
note that the time for participants to
make statements will be limited to 2
minutes per panel.
The recommendations provided
during this meeting will assist us, as we
explore the possibility of designing a
model test to address behavioral health
payment and service delivery.
