HealthPathWashington is Washington's Final Design Proposal Submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Washington has a long history of innovation and has achieved progress in rebalancing services and supports away from institutional care. Today, Washington is ready to move forward, through HealthPathWashington's multi-pronged approach to:
- Improve care, services and supports
- Support beneficiary choice
- Sustain high levels of community supports and
- Integrate care, services and supports for people with physical, cognitive, intellectual disabilities and mental illness or substance abuse challenges.
To achieve these goals, Washington is recommending three strategies:
- Health Homes for high cost high risk dually eligible persons in January 2013
- Full Integration capitated financial model through health plans in January 2014 and
- Modernized and consolidated service delivery with shared outcomes and aligned financial incentives in January 2014.
