Webinar: Frontier Community Health Integration Project Demonstration - Introduction

On January 31, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the Frontier Community Health Integration Project Demonstration. This new demonstration aims to develop and test new models of integrated, coordinated health care in the most sparsely-populated rural counties with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing Medicare expenditures. Eligibility is restricted to Critical Access Hospitals in Alaska, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
