IMPLEMENT MEDICAID DELIVERY AND PAYMENTS INITIATIVE: Authorizes the department of health care policy and financing (department) to implement performance-based payments for medicaid providers. Furthermore, the bill codifies the Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC), the primary Medicaid delivery system in Colorado.
The bill defines the goals of the ACC and HCPF’s implementation of the ACC, including, in part, establishing primary care medical homes for Medicaid clients, providing regional coordination and accountability, and integrating physical and behavioral health care delivery. The medical services board is required to promulgate rules implementing the ACC.
