Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model
Active
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is soliciting applications for the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model. This 10-year service delivery and payment model aims to improve maternal health care outcomes for individuals enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The TMaH Model will test whether targeted technical assistance, along with payment and delivery system reforms, can drive a whole-person care-delivery approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care while reducing Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures. CMS is seeking up to 15 state Medicaid agencies (SMAs) to participate in the TMaH Model, with each selected recipient eligible for up to $17 million in Cooperative Agreement funding over the 10-year period. The TMaH Model will evaluate its impact on rates of lower c-risk cesarean section (c-section), severe maternal morbidity (SMM), incidence of low birthweight infants, changes in experience of care for pregnant and birthing individuals, and changes in Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures. The goal of the TMaH Model is to improve maternal and child health outcomes while reducing Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures for maternal care, particularly by reducing spending on high-cost procedures such as c-sections for low-risk beneficiaries. State Medicaid Agencies (SMAs) for the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are eligible to apply. Applicants must propose either to implement the Model statewide or to implement the Model in a sub-state region specified by ZIP codes. The estimated total program funding for this opportunity is $255 million, and it is anticipated that 15 awards will be made. The opportunity is forecasted and falls under the category of Affordable Care Act. The deadline for applications is yet to be announced.

Each award recipient will receive up to $12 million in Cooperative Agreement funding over the course of up to six years. The funding will support planning and implementation activities, Medicare fee-for-service and Medicaid hospital global budgets for participating hospitals, and a primary care program for participating primary care practices. Applicants must select one of three Cohorts to participate in based on their stage of readiness to implement the Model. CMS will select up to eight award recipients through a competitive process. The close date for Cohort 3 is August 12, 2024, at 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
