On April 3, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) notified applicants whether or not they were accepted for participation in the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model.
As a refresher, the GUIDE Model is a new initiative by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals living with dementia and alleviating the burden on their unpaid caregivers. Announced on July 31, 2023, this eight-year, voluntary model will begin on July 1, 2024.
The GUIDE Model focuses on comprehensive care coordination and management for dementia patients. Key components include:
The model will provide a monthly per-beneficiary payment to participating providers to cover the costs of these services, along with a separate payment for respite care and, in some cases, an infrastructure payment to support program development activities.
