New CMS Model Aims to Redesign Care Delivery and Improve Equity
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the States Advancing All-Payer Health Equity Approaches and Development Model (States Advancing AHEAD or AHEAD Model), which aims to address chronic disease, behavioral health and other medical conditions. States participating in the AHEAD Model will be better prepared to promote health equity, increase access to primary care services, set health care costs on a more sustainable trajectory and lower health care costs for patients. The AHEAD Model represents the next iteration of CMS’ Innovation Center's multi-payer total cost of care models.
