Description

The purpose of the Frontier Community Health Integration Demonstration is to develop and test new models for the delivery of health care services in frontier areas through improving access to and better integrating the delivery of health care to Medicare beneficiaries. The primary focus areas of the demonstration are the following: (1)Explore ways to increase access to, and improve the adequacy of, payments for acute care, extended care, and other essential health care services provided under the Medicare and Medicaid programs in frontier areas; (2)Evaluate regulatory challenges facing frontier providers and the communities they serve. HRSA will be funding this cooperative agreement to provide technical assistance and broad analysis of regulatory issues and challenges facing low-volume, frontier providers in the context of implementing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) demonstration authorized in Section 123 of MIPPA. Participation in the HRSA-funded activities does not guarantee participation in the CMS demonstration.
