The CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is launching a new Alternative Payment Model (APM) focused on Dementia Care: The GUIDE model. It will launch in July 2024 and run for eight years. More details will be forthcoming in the request for applications (RFAs) to be published this fall, which will open the application period for provider organizations. The Model has three primary goals:
- Improving quality of life for people living with dementia
- Improving services, supports and assistance for caregivers of people with dementia
- Delaying nursing home care and enabling more people to live at home through the end of life
In addition, CMMI has included a focus on health equity with this model, including payment adjustments and a required health equity plan by model participants.
