*Full name: Assess the degree to which programs that provide care coordination functions exist in the state and develop new or support existing efforts to expand care coordination.
Enhancing care coordination – especially for vulnerable populations – is an aim of many ACA programs and initiatives. Some of the most relevant ACA opportunities to promote care coordination include:
§1311 – Health plans participating in health insurance exchanges will be required to report on quality improvement strategies such as care coordination.
§2602 – Federal Coordinated Health Care Office to support state efforts to improve coordination of care for duals.
§3021, §10306 – Mandate of new CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation includes promoting care coordination.
A variety of other sections of the ACA also offer promise for improving care coordination, but with a more limited state role. In particular, Medicare is to launch an ACO program (§3022), a payment bundling pilot (§3023), an Independence at Home Demonstration (§3024), and a Community-Based Care Transitions Program (§3026).
