Accountable Care Collaborative Home
The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) created the Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) in 2011 as the core vehicle for delivering and managing member care for Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program). The ACC was designed to provide cost-effective access to quality health care services while improving member health. It integrates managed fee-for-service physical health care and managed behavioral health care through managed care entities called Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs). The ACC’s regional model allows it to respond to unique community needs while implementing the following key program components:
- Network Management: RAEs establish a network of primary care providers, provide practice transformation and other support for providers and collaborate with other organizations in the health neighborhood to support members’ health-related social needs
- Behavioral Health: RAEs manage the capitated behavioral health benefit to ensure members have access to the full continuum of behavioral health services and ensure providers receive appropriate payment for their services
- Member Support: RAEs support members by ensuring access to care coordination, ranging from health promotion to high-risk case management, and other supportive services in a culturally competent manner.
If you are a Health First Colorado Member, learn more about your RAE (referred to as a regional organization).
