View Award Description

States Advancing All-Payer Health Equity Approaches and Development (AHEAD) Model Cooperative Agreement Cohort 2 - The state of Connecticut is applying to participate in the 2nd cohort of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMI)-funded AHEAD model, and would include the entire state as part of the Model's service area. This is a joint application between the Connecticut Office of Health Strategy and the Department of Social Services. Through care transformation and payment restructuring at the hospital and primary care level, OHS and DSS aim to curb healthcare costs and improve health care outcomes and health equity for all Connecticut residents. This process will be guided by a Model Governance Structure built on an existing leadership group, the Health Care Cabinet, which consists of stakeholders with a wide range of perspective to inform model activities and build partnerships to achieve model goals. OHS and DSS will use the first-year budget of $2.678 million dollars to recruit program participants and design the state Medicaid payment methodology, as well as hire contractors and pay the salaries of additional staff members who will take on tasks like: designing the state health equity plan; aligning existing quality and cost benchmarks with the AHEAD model; developing additional quality and equity measures as needed; analyzing available state healthcare data; creating processes for setting and calculating payments from various funding sources; establishing mechanisms for monitoring hospital and primary care performance; and convening the model governance structure and other stakeholder meetings.
