On July 31, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new voluntary nationwide model, the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) model.
The GUIDE model will run for eight years, beginning on July 1, 2024, and will test an alternative payment for participants that deliver key supportive services to people with dementia, including care plans, care coordination, and 24/7 access to a support line.
Participants will be Medicare Part B enrolled providers/suppliers, excluding durable medical equipment and laboratory suppliers, that are eligible to bill for Medicare Physician Fee Schedule services and agree to meet the care delivery requirements.
For more details, see the main GUIDE page, fact sheet, infographic, and FAQ page.
