Key findings

What the program funds

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), through its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center), seeks applications to the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) model. The MOM model is the next step in CMS’ multi-pronged strategy to combat the nation’s opioid crisis. The model aims to address fragmentation in the care of pregnant and postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use disorder through state-driven transformation of the delivery system surrounding this vulnerable population. By supporting the coordination of clinical care and the integration of other services critical for health, wellbeing, and recovery, the MOM model has the potential to improve quality of care and reduce costs for mothers and infants

Rules from the program listing

Who can apply

State Medicaid agencies are eligible to apply for MOM model funding.

What the money can and cannot pay for

The MOM model provides three distinct funding opportunities for awardees: • Implementation Funding will be available annually during each year of the model to support infrastructure and capacity-building. • Transition Funding will be available only during the Transition Period and only to support intake, assessment, and creation of a treatment plan (payment available once per pregnancy per beneficiary) and coordination, engagement, and referral activities (payment available on a monthly basis for up to 12 months for each beneficiary who receives these services) not otherwise covered by the State Plan. Model funds may not be used to supplant or duplicate existing funding sources. The state must take over these costs in alignment with its Coverage and Payment Strategy by Year 3 of the model. Transition Funding is restricted and not guaranteed. • Milestone Funding will be available during the Full Implementation Period based on an awardee’s demonstrated performance on pre-determined quality milestones. Milestone Funding is restricted and not guaranteed. Applicants must describe in detail how they will use Implementation Funding and Transition Funding to implement the model. In addition to the detailed justifications for use of Implementation Funding and Transition Funding, each applicant should provide a plan for how Milestone Funding, if unrestricted, would be used to support the goals of the MOM model.
