In December, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced four states will participate in the Innovation in Behavioral Health Model (IBH Model). The selected states are Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. The IBH Model is a collaboration between CMS and state Medicaid agencies to build a model that provides integrated care to Medicaid and Medicare populations with moderate-to-severe mental health conditions and/or substance use disorder (SUD). Model implementation began on January 1, 2025.
