CMS announced that a downstate sub-region of New York will participate in the third cohort of AHEAD. Participating hospitals will work to manage healthcare costs, enhance primary care and promote health equity through a cooperative funding agreement, hospital global budgets and primary care investments. The voluntary initiative’s two-year pre-implementation period starts in January, followed by eight performance years.
