The CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is in the process of launching a new Alternative Payment Model (APM)
dedicated to the realm of Dementia Care coined as The GUIDE model. This initiative is due for launch in July 2024 and is expected
to run for a duration of eight years.
Importantly, those seeking further elucidation on The GUIDE model will have forthcoming opportunities to learn more. This is
anticipated to occur by fall when the request for applications (RFAs) are published. The publication of the RFAs will also signal
the commencement of the application period for provider organizations.
The GUIDE model represents a novel step taken by the CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) towards gearing its
resources towards providing better care for patients dealing with Dementia. While the model will not be launched until 2024, its
announcement signals a long-term commitment to advancing Dementia care.
