CMS Innovation Center Announces Awardees for the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) and Integrated Care for Kids (InCK) Models
Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced ten states selected to
receive funding under the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) Model. These selections are the next
step in the CMS multi-pronged strategy to combat the nation’s opioid crisis and address
fragmentation in the care of pregnant and postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use
disorder (OUD). The MOM Model has the potential to improve the quality of care and reduce
expenditures for pregnant and postpartum women with OUD as well as their infants, increase
access to treatment, and create sustainable coverage and payment strategies that support ongoing coordination and integration of care.

CMS also issued eight cooperative agreements for the Integrated Care for Kids (InCK) Model,
which will begin in early 2020 in seven states. Launching in January 2020, this seven-year model
is another part of CMS’s strategy to fight the opioid crisis and address its impact on vulnerable
Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)-covered children and their
caregivers. The InCK Model aims to improve child health, reduce avoidable inpatient stays and
out-of-home placement, and create sustainable payment models to coordinate physical and
behavioral health care with services to address health-related needs.

The MOM Model will have a five-year period of performance beginning in January 2020 with three different types of funding, totaling approximately $50,000,000. Specifically, awardees will use the funds to transition into the new model of care, and then fully implement their plan. The following 10 states have been awarded MOM Model funding: Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
InCK funding will provide Connecticut, Illinois (2 awards), New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon with the flexibility to design interventions for their local communities that align health care delivery with child welfare support, educational systems, housing and nutrition services, mobile crisis response services, maternal and child health systems, and other relevant service systems. By bringing together medical, behavioral, and community-based services, InCK strives to reduce fragmentation in service delivery and expand access to care for children and youth.
