ACHs achieve second milestone, advancing Medicaid transformation

All nine Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) have passed phase 2 certification, a critical achievement in the Medicaid Transformation Demonstration (Demonstration).

Their success signals another step toward the 2021 goal of whole person health care and better management of state resources. Each ACH will receive $5 million to continue:

Building organizational infrastructure and capacity
Expanding community partnerships
Planning and implementing projects that address state and regional priorities

The next milestone, submission of Project plans, is on November 16.

All ACH phase 2 certification documents are posted on the Healthier Washington website.
