Funded by the Affordable Care Act, the second round of the Health Care Innovation Awards differs from the first round in several respects.
Specifically, in this second round, CMS is seeking new models in four categories:
• Models that are designed to rapidly reduce Medicare, Medicaid, and/or CHIP costs in outpatient and/or post-acute settings. Priority areas are diagnostic services, outpatient radiology, high-cost physician-administered drugs, home based services, therapeutic
services, and post-acute services.
• Models that improve care for populations with specialized needs. Priority areas are high-cost pediatric populations, children in foster care, children at high risk for dental disease, adolescents in crisis, persons with Alzheimer’s disease, persons
living with HIV/AIDS (in particular, efforts to link and retain patients in care and improve medication adherence that lead to viral suppression), persons requiring long-term support and services, and persons with serious behavioral health needs.
• Models that test approaches for specific types of providers to transform their financial and clinical models. Priority areas are models designed for physician specialties and subspecialties (e.g., oncology and cardiology), and for pediatric providers who
provide services to children with complex medical issues (including but not limited to care for children with multiple medical conditions, behavioral health issues, congenital disease, chronic respiratory disease, and complex social issues), and that include,
as appropriate, shared decision-making mechanisms to engage beneficiaries and their families and/or caregivers in treatment choices.
• Models that improve the health of populations – defined geographically, clinically, or by socioeconomic class through activities focused on engaging beneficiaries and prevention, wellness, and comprehensive care that extends beyond the clinical setting (e.g.,
diabetes prevention programs).
In this round, CMS specifically seeks new payment models to support the service delivery models funded by this initiative. All applicants must submit, as part of their application, the
design of a payment model that is consistent with the new service delivery model that they propose.
