The IBH Model for Cohort II is a seven-year, voluntary service delivery and payment model beginning in January 2027, focusing on advancing and promoting integrated care in behavioral health settings. The IBH Model will test the impact of a value-based payment model aligned across Medicaid and Medicare that supports an integrated care delivery framework in specialty behavioral health organizations and settings for adult Medicaid, Medicare, and dual-eligible beneficiaries with moderate to severe mental health conditions and/or substance use disorders. The IBH NOFO webinar will provide important information on the model payment methodology, federal award details, and the application process. Attendees will also hear from Cohort I state awardees (Michigan, New York, and South Carolina) about their insights and experiences in the model and engage in a live question-and-answer segment with the model team. This webinar will provide an important opportunity to expand and deepen your understanding of the model and how it may be leveraged in your state to transform behavioral health for Medicaid beneficiaries, as well as for Medicare and dual-eligible beneficiaries for states that participate in the Medicare arm of the model.
