State-preferred PCMH Model Interest Application is Now Available
The Care Delivery component of the State Innovation Model (SIM) is designed to support the spread of Advanced Alternative Payment Methods (APM) across the state. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) continues to work with Medicaid Health Plans to support the expansion of current APMs and the development of new APMs. Through this work, the Department is supporting Medicaid Health Plans in pursuing a care delivery model, similar to the SIM Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Initiative as a mechanism to continue the valued work of primary care transformation across Michigan.
This program will provide an opportunity for eligible practices and providers across the state (both those within and outside the SIM test regions) that are not currently participating in the SIM PCMH Initiative to engage in a similar care delivery model as that used in the SIM PCMH Initiative by working closely with the Medicaid Health Plans participating in this APM. While administered directly by each individual Medicaid Health Plan (not all Medicaid Health Plans will participate in calendar year 2019), participant eligibility for this program will mirror that of the MDHHS led SIM PCMH Initiative. Therefore, this program will require an application for all interested in participating. MDHHS will be facilitating an application process to support the participating Medicaid Health Plans as they execute this program.
The application is now open and submissions will be accepted through 11:59 PM EST on July 13, 2018. A live webinar on the application process will be held on June 26, 2018 1 PM - 2 PM EDT. To register for this informational session, REGISTER HERE.
