View Award Description

NYS Innovation in Behavioral Health Model - New York State is applying for the Innovation in Behavioral Health (IBH) Model cooperative agreement to focus on bringing primary care into behavioral health settings, enhance care management for people with moderate to severe behavioral health conditions, and move behavioral health providers towards value-based payment arrangements. The IBH Model will support information technology enhancements for sophisticated data sharing and interoperability and allow further development and refinement of care management for people with co-occurring behavioral health and physical health conditions. New York State anticipates value-based payment incentives will result in better health outcomes and financial sustainability under Medicaid, producing short- and long-term savings from reductions in inpatient and emergency room utilization associated with targeted health conditions (i.e., diabetes, hypertension, and tobacco use disorder). The IBH Model will also facilitate alignment between Medicaid and Medicare payment approaches and quality measures. The total budget is approximately $7.5 million over an eight-year period. The New York State Department of Health, Office of Mental Health, and Office of Addiction Services and Supports will closely collaborate to implement the IBH Model.
