Accountable Care Collaborative Phase II updates

“In response to feedback from the community and evolving guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department has decided to adjust the procurement timeline for Phase II of the ACC and begin the next phase on July 1, 2018.

Behavioral Health Services Payment Methodology: The Department has revised its proposal for reimbursing behavioral health services as outlined in the ACC Phase II Concept Paper. A modified capitation payment methodology will be retained for core behavioral health services. The capitation will be directed to the Regional Accountable Entities who will be responsible for managing the health needs of Medicaid enrollees in their region. For more information about this proposal change, check out our ACC Phase II Program Decision: Reimbursement for Behavioral Health Services fact sheet.” [Source: HCPF]
