CMS announces new model to test behavioral and physical health approaches
On Jan. 18, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), announced the Innovation in Behavioral Health (IBH) Model to advance integration in behavioral health.
Per the news release from CMS, the model’s goal is to improve the overall quality of care and outcomes for adults with mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUDs) by connecting them with the physical, behavioral, and social supports needed to manage their care. Additionally, the model will promote health information technology (health IT) capacity building through infrastructure payments and other activities, encouraging providers to transmit and exchange patient health information securely.
