States can use outcome-based payment arrangements as an alternative or supplement to traditional FFS payments to incentivize 1915(c) waiver program providers with meeting targeted milestones or achievements. States offering outcome-based payment arrangements establish targeted outcomes that align with participant or program goals. This training will help states by:
- Providing an overview of outcome-based payments in 1915(c) waiver programs,
- Highlighting examples of outcome-based payments from 1915(c) waiver programs and outcome-based payments methodologies,
- Discussing the impact of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and state responses using outcome-based payments, and
- Discussing considerations for states implementing outcome-based payments in 1915(c) waiver programs.
