Changing the way the Medicaid system addresses health inequities

About this Program

The RFI is specifically focused on the behavioral health needs, both mental health and substance use disorder, of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander pregnant and postpartum women. These sub-populations include Micronesians, Palauans, and Marshallese.

This RFI has one (1) area of focus for vendors to address in their response to mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment for expecting and new moms.

Solutions should focus on all or part of the challenges within the innovation opportunity:
Enabling, Navigating, or Coordinating Behavioral Health Care for Expecting and New Moms

Insights gathered through the discovery process in Hawaii, which informed the Area of Focus, can be found on MIC's website.

Medicaid Innovation Collaborative (MIC) is an innovation program to advance health equity in Medicaid. Digital health solutions that improve access and quality of care, as well as address social and environmental needs, are underutilized yet powerful potential solutions to transform the health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable and diverse patient populations in the United States. Through programming, technical assistance, and other resources, MIC enables state Medicaid programs, their managed care plans, and other key stakeholders to more effectively identify and implement such solutions. Structured as a cohort program, states share learnings and collaborate with their peers on a specific health equity challenge.

The Medicaid Innovation Collaboration is a partnership of three organizations committed to improving the health and wellbeing for low-income Americans: Acumen, an impact investment firm focused on tackling issues of poverty in the U.S., Adaptation Health, an innovation consultant, and the Center for Health Care Strategies, a policy design and implementation partner working to improve outcomes for Medicaid beneficiaries.
