Maternal Opioid Misuse Model

 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), through its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center), seeks applications to the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) model. The MOM model is the next step in CMS multi-pronged strategy to combat the nations opioid crisis. The model aims to address fragmentation in the care of pregnant and postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use disorder through state-driven transformation of the delivery system surrounding this vulnerable population. By supporting the coordination of clinical care and the integration of other services critical for health, wellbeing, and recovery, the MOM model has the potential to improve quality of care and reduce costs for mothers and infants

The application procedure is as follows: Application materials will be available for download at http://www.grants.gov. Please note that HHS requires applications for all announcements to be submitted electronically through http://www.grants.gov. For assistance with http://www.grants.gov, contact support@grants.gov or 1-800-518-4726. At Grants.gov, applicants will be able to download a copy of the application packet, complete it off-line, and then upload and submit the application via the Grants.gov website. Specific instructions for applications submitted via http://www.grants.gov: o You may access the electronic application for this project at http://www.grants.gov. You must search the downloadable application page by the CFDA number. o At the http://www.grants.gov website, you will find information about submitting an application electronically through the site, including the hours of operation. HHS strongly recommends that you do not wait until the application due date to begin the application process through http://www.grants.gov because of the time needed to complete the required registration steps. o The applicant must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database in order to be able to submit the application. Applicants are encouraged to register early, and must have their DUNS and EIN/TIN numbers in order to do so. o Authorized Organizational Representative: The Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) who will officially submit an application on behalf of the organization must register with grants.gov for a username and password. AORs must complete a profile with Grants.gov using their organization's DUNS Number to obtain their username and password at http://grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp. AORs must wait one business day after successful registration in SAM before entering their profiles in Grants.gov. Applicants should complete this process as soon as possible after successful registration in SAM to ensure this step is completed in time to apply before application deadlines. o When an AOR registers with Grants.gov to submit applications on behalf of an organization, that organization's E-Biz POC will receive an email notification. The email address provided in the profile will be the email used to send the notification from Grants.gov to the E-Biz POC with the AOR copied on the correspondence. o The E-Biz POC must then login to Grants.gov (using the organization's DUNS number for the username and the special password called "M-PIN") and approve the AOR, thereby providing permission to submit applications. o Any files uploaded or attached to the Grants.gov application must be PDF file format and must contain a valid file format extension in the filename. Even though Grants.gov allows applicants to attach any file formats as part of their application, CMS restricts this practice and only accepts PDF file formats. Any file submitted as part of the Grants.gov application that is not in a PDF file format, or contains password protection, will not be accepted for processing and will be excluded from the application during the review process. In addition, the use of compressed file formats such as ZIP, RAR, or Adobe Portfolio will not be accepted. The application must be submitted in a file format that can easily be copied and read by reviewers. It is recommended that scanned copies not be submitted through Grants.gov unless the applicant confirms the clarity of the documents. Pages cannot be reduced in size, resulting in multiple pages on a single sheet, to avoid exceeding the page limitation. All documents that do not conform to the above specifications will be excluded from the application materials during the review process. o After you electronically submit your application, you will receive an acknowledgement from http://www.grants.gov that contains a Grants.gov tracking number. HHS will retrieve your application package from Grants.gov. Please note, applicants may incur a time delay before they receive acknowledgement that the application has been accepted by the Grants.gov system. Applicants should not wait until the application deadline to apply because notification by Grants.gov that the application is incomplete may not be received until close to or after the application deadline, eliminating the opportunity to correct errors and resubmit the application. Applications submitted after the deadline, as a result of errors on the part of the applicant, will not be reviewed. o After HHS retrieves your application package from Grants.gov, a return receipt will be emailed to the applicant contact. This will be in addition to the validation number provided by Grants.gov. Applications cannot be accepted through any email address. Full applications can only be accepted through http://www.grants.gov. Full applications cannot be received via paper mail, courier, or delivery service.

This number is shown on the cover page of this announcement. 2) If you experience technical challenges while submitting your application electronically, please contact Grants.gov Support directly at: www.grants.gov/customersupport or (800) 518-4726.

Model funds may not be used to supplant or duplicate existing funding sources. The state must take over these costs in alignment with its Coverage and Payment Strategy by Year 3 of the model. Transition Funding is restricted and not guaranteed. • Milestone Funding will be available during the Full Implementation Period based on an awardee’s demonstrated performance on pre-determined quality milestones. Milestone Funding is restricted and not guaranteed. Applicants must describe in detail how they will use Implementation Funding and Transition Funding to implement the model. In addition to the detailed justifications for use of Implementation Funding and Transition Funding, each applicant should provide a plan for how Milestone Funding, if unrestricted, would be used to support the goals of the MOM model.

These milestones are detailed in the NOFO. These reports will be submitted as part of the quarterly and annual progress reports. Not applicable.
