Objectives: The purpose of this single source funding opportunity for the One-Time Funding in Support of Vermont’s All-Payer ACO Model (“Model‿) cooperative agreement is to provide Vermont with the start-up costs of the Model to assist Vermont in accomplishing the health outcomes, financial, and ACO scale targets required of Vermont under the Model. A single-source award to the Agency for Human Services will enable CMS to expeditiously provide assistance to Vermont for the following specific activities: connect Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries with community-based resources, coordinate transitions across care settings with appropriate involvement of the Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiary’s primary care provider, coordinate care across providers, support health promotion and self-management by Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries, and support practice improvement and transformation. These activities are necessary for Vermont to achieve the goals of the Model. We note that the other components of the Model (e.g., Vermont-specific Medicare ACO initiative and statewide health outcomes, financial, and ACO scale targets) are governed by a separate State Agreement into which Vermont and CMS have entered.
