Integrated Care for Kids (InCK): Advancing Behavioral Health Best Practices for Children, Youth, and Young Adults

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is launching a new pediatric care model – Integrated Care for Kids (InCK). CMMI plans to release a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the Fall of 2018, seeking State Medicaid agency and local lead entity partnership applications. InCK, the first pediatric-focused model proposed by CMMI, aims to improve children's behavioral health outcomes, reduce out-of-home placement in residential, inpatient, foster care, and/or juvenile justice, increase home-and community-based services, including mobile crisis response, and align quality measures with payment. The Institute for Innovation and Implementation invites states, localities, and their partners to join us for a webinar to learn more about this opportunity and its potential to advance child behavioral health best practices and values-based system approaches within Medicaid delivery systems.
