What Is This Program?

The Innovation in Behavioral Health Model (IBH) aims to improve quality and outcomes by establishing a standard of integrated care in mental health and substance use disorder health care settings. The model will increase access for people with Medicare and Medicaid by offering an aligned care delivery and payment model to community behavioral health providers to enhance existing services and achieve greater equity in outcomes for historically underserved populations by focusing on health-related social needs (HRSN). The Innovation Center will test the model in up to eight states in partnership with state Medicaid agencies and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) or intermediaries to recruit behavioral health provider organizations. In order to participate in the model for people with Medicare, behavioral health care providers must also participate in Medicaid.
