Accountable Care Organizations ACO
ACOs are groups of providers—such as physicians and hospital systems—that form an agreement to coordinate care for a set group of consumers. If the ACO delivers high quality care—measured through performance metrics—and lowers the cost of providing care against a baseline, then the organization receives a portion of the savings generated. ACOs can exist alongside all payment structures (fee-for-service and managed care delivery systems) and payers (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial).
Administrative Services Organization ASO An arrangement in which an organization hires a third party to deliver administrative services to the organization,
such as claims processing and billing. The organization bears the risk for all claims.
Behavioral HealthChoicesManaged Care Organizations

Federal financial participation is available for Medicaid IMD services for individuals under the age of 21 and age 65 and over. In recent years, CMS has relaxed the rules prohibiting payments in IMDs for individuals age 21-64. Medicaid health plans may provide up to 15 days of IMD services per month in lieu of state plan services if medically appropriate, cost effective, and consented to by the individual. Additionally, states may be granted a 1115 waiver authority to allow individuals to receive residential addiction treatment in IMDs.

Financing is a shared responsibility of the federal government and the states
Medicaid Waiver Granted by CMS, waivers allow states to make temporary changes to their Medicaid State Plan in order to test out new ways to deliver health coverage. Importantly, the waivers must be budget neutral.
Medical HomeA medical home is not a physical place, but a model for care coordination. Medical homes provide primary care services, care coordination, enhanced access to care, and care that is culturally and linguistically appropriate. Medical homes exist across multiple payers.

U.S. health care reform signed into law in 2010. The legislation regulates certain aspects of private and public health insurance programs and authorizes an individual mandate to secure essential health coverage, premium tax credits for the purchase of private health insurance, and increased insurance coverage of preexisting conditions. In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that state participation is optional for provisions of the law expanding Medicaid coverage to adults ages 18 to 64 with incomes under 138% of the FPL. In 2017, Congress repealed the tax penalties associated with the individual mandate essentially ending the mandate.
Pay-for-Performance P4P A health care payment model that offers financial rewards to organizations that meet or exceed pre-determined quality benchmarks. Typically, services continue to be reimbursed FFS.

Primary Care Case Management PCCM
A health care delivery system model with limited utilization and cost control. Under the PCCM model, Medicaid enrollees choose a primary care physician who acts as a gatekeeper for more intensive services. The primary care physician generally receives a per person per month (PMPM) fee for care coordination, and is reimbursed fee-for-service for all medical services provided. Some states consider PCCM a managed care delivery model, while other states consider it an FFS delivery model.
