Description
In July 2014, CMS launched the Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP), a collaborative between the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). The goal of IAP is to improve the health and health care of Medicaid beneficiaries and to reduce costs by supporting states’ ongoing payment and delivery system reforms. As part of a strategy to improve the care and outcomes for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), CMS invites states to leverage IAP resources to introduce system reforms that better identify individuals with a SUD, expand coverage for effective SUD treatment, and enhance SUD practices delivered to beneficiaries. Based on feedback from states and partners, IAP designed a technical support strategy that reflect the keystones of SUD program innovation, including the use of quality metrics and data analytics, benefit design and provider strategies, and value-based purchasing for SUD. This webinar provides an overview of the IAP SUD program area, including recent efforts and upcoming opportunities, and highlights ways to engage in Medicaid SUD delivery system reform.
Learning Objectives
- Gain an understanding of the IAP SUD program area.
