CMS has unveiled a new payment model aiming to support health equity in the states by shifting health care to community-based settings. The agency is already addressing health equity in other models, such as Enhancing Oncology Model and ACO REACH.
The States Advancing All-Payer Health Equity Approaches and Development Model (AHEAD Model) aims to better address chronic disease, behavioral health, and other medical conditions by equipping states to promote health equity, increase access to primary care, encourage more sustainable health care spending, and lower costs for patients.
