RHTP Initiative 1 - ACO Feasibility Study

The Indiana Dept of Health is seeking a contractor to conduct a study on the potential for alternate Medicaid payment models, including a Rural Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model and bundled payments for episodes of care. The study is part of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), which aims to address health outcomes in the state's rural communities. • The contractor will need to analyze the feasibility of different payment models and their potential impact on healthcare outcomes. • The study should consider the experiences of other states and the potential for implementing these models in Indiana. • The contractor will need to provide recommendations for the implementation of the chosen payment model. • The RHTP is a five-year program, and the study should take into account the long-term goals and objectives of the program.
