The letters, which provide state options for innovative models in fee-for-service Medicaid that do not require a waiver, describe policy considerations for creating integrated care models, and CMS says this could include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical or health homes;
  • Accountable care organizations;
  • ACO-like models; and
  • Alternative arrangements that “emphasize person-centered, continuous, coordinated and comprehensive care.”
