Onboarding/Application: All interested PCP and BH organizations and ICs, regardless of TI 1.0 participation, have the opportunity to submit an application through an AHCCCS Online portal and upload specified documents to meet application requirements by 9/30/2023. Notification of application approval will be sent by 12/29/2023. Eligible provider applicants will earn Year 1 incentive payments for successfully completing the application requirements. Visit the Application Requirements webpage to review eligibility requirements.
Develop and Implement Process/Procedures: Participants will earn Year 2 incentives by developing processes and procedures related to TI 2.0 initiatives. AHCCCS will validate minimum elements required to meet the processes and procedures requirement.
TI organizations can expect to participate in Quality Improvement Collaborative sessions (QICs) and Quality Improvement Workgroups (QIWs) led by the Arizona State University (ASU) Targeted Investments Program Improvement Collaborative (TIPIC) team. Each session will bring AHCCCS, ASU, MCOs, CBOs, and other stakeholders together to discuss challenges and share best practices for TI 2.0 policies and procedures.
Demonstrate Process/Procedures AND Meet Performance Measure Targets: Participants will demonstrate that the procedures and processes developed in TI 2.0 Year 2 have been successfully implemented. This will be demonstrated through self-audit relative to an AHCCCS established target with supporting documentation submitted for validation. Each participant’s incentive payments are determined by the processes and procedures associated with each passed milestone. For additional Year 3 incentives, eligible participants must meet or exceed a performance measure target communicated at the beginning of the program year as a continuation of the Year 2 performance measure(s).
Performance Measurement: Year 4 and Year 5 performance measures will be selected in Year 3 to adopt the newest and most aligned measures with steward-backed criteria related to TI 2.0 initiatives.
