Maternal Opioid Misuse Model

The MOM model leverages Innovation Center authorities and state flexibility to address fragmentation in the care of pregnant and postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use disorder. To foster integrated and coordinated care for the model population, CMS supports awardees to design and implement state-specific interventions through funding for 1) infrastructure and capacity development, 2) care delivery, and 3) milestones tied to key quality metrics. During the model’s five-year performance period, responsibility for funding the care-delivery innovation has transitioned to states, with the ultimate goal of sustaining successful payment and care-delivery strategies through incorporation into their Medicaid programs. CMS currently funds eight renewable one-year cooperative agreements to State Medicaid agencies. No additional awards are anticipated.
