The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has confirmed that Maryland and Vermont will participate in the first cohort of its state-based AHEAD all-payer model, with Connecticut participating in the second cohort, and Hawaii also expected to join.
The States Advancing All-Payer Health Equity Approaches and Development (AHEAD) Model will hold participating states accountable for controlling overall growth in healthcare expenditures and improving population health outcomes. CMS will issue agreements to each participating state, which could receive up to $12 million from CMS during the first five and a half years of the model to support implementation.
CMS will select four more states this fall. States interested in participating in Cohort 3 must submit a letter of intent to CMS by July 26 and submit an application by 3 p.m. ET Aug. 12.
Maryland and Vermont will participate in Cohort 1, while Connecticut will participate in Cohort 2. Hawaii will also participate, pending satisfaction of certain requirements.
