The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released its latest total cost of care model, the Advancing All-Payer Health Equity Approaches and Development (AHEAD) model with the goals of slowing growth in health care costs, improving population health, and advancing health equity. With the release of the Notice of Funding Opportunity, states need to consider the model’s multiple components and requirements to prepare for application and potential implementation activities.  

NASHP and Mathematica are collaborating on a series of conversations for states interested in AHEAD. The first three calls will focus on critical considerations for states as they assess their capacity and readiness for the AHEAD model. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from and engage with experts and discuss with their peers in other states three key model issues for states: governance, hospital global budgets, and primary care AHEAD. 

Please note: These calls are open to state officials only.
