The purpose of this form is to collect structured information on stakeholders’ innovative ideas for new payment models to transform and improve the quality of health care delivered in Maryland and meet Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Model savings requirements. New payment models are innovative ideas, outside of traditional provider payment structures, that require approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and/or the state of Maryland.
The Stakeholder Innovation Group (SIG) is a provider-led, stakeholder forum to identify innovative ideas and care transformation ideas to advance the goals of the TCOC Model and population health efforts in the state. The SIG discusses and enhances ideas before the state recommends the idea to the Secretary of Health and the Secretary’s Vision Group (SVG) for approval.
Any health care provider or stakeholder in Maryland may submit a new payment model idea through this intake form. You are strongly encouraged to seek technical assistance from the Health Services Cost Review Commission staff prior to form submission at md.aid@maryland.gov. Completed forms will be discussed in SIG meetings.
