The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host an upcoming webinar on the Innovation in Behavioral Health (IBH) Model. IBH is focused on improving the quality of care and behavioral and physical health outcomes for Medicaid and Medicare populations with moderate to severe mental health conditions and substance use disorder (SUD). Medicare and Medicaid populations experience disproportionately high rates of mental health conditions and/or SUD, and as a result, are more likely to experience poor health outcomes and experiences, like frequent visits to the emergency department and hospitalizations, or premature death. During this webinar, the IBH Team will discuss the model’s goals, eligibility, participant types, care delivery framework, and payment structure. The team will also provide additional details on the application process, timeline, and resources. The model will test a value-based payment approach that enables community-based behavioral health practices to integrate behavioral health care with physical health needs and health-related social needs.
This webinar will take place on Thursday, February 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
