Year 2 Contract Preview - January Cohort

/

We wanted to get you thinking about Year 2 (Y2) contracting. Don’t worry! Nothing’s due before the holidays. Draft plans will be due at your 1-on-1 workshops on Feb. 11-12. So there’s still plenty of time, but we wanted to share some information about the timeline, workshops, and the Y2 Transformation Plan template.

Timeline

  • Feb 11-12 - Transformation Plan workshops, completed draft due at workshop

  • March 13 - Final plans due

  • March 31 - Y1 contract end date

  • Early April - Y1 Contract Reporting survey

  • Mid-April - BHT sends Y2 Contracts via DocuSign*

  • May 1 - Y2 Contract start date

*Following completion & review of Y1 Contract Reporting survey (see Contract Performance Policy)

Workshops
As a best practice from Y1 contracting, we will have a 1-hour transformation plan workshop with each partner. Providers will work one-on-one with BHT staff and consultants on their Plans. The workshops will be held Feb. 11-12 at the BHT offices. Sign-up now for your time slot. A completed draft of your Transformation Plan Template will be due at the time of your workshop.


Y2 Template
You’ll see that the Y2 Transformation Plan template is very similar to the Y1 template, but we wanted to highlight a few things:

  • For each project area, we added a question about how the Y2 activities build on, enhance, and/or course correct on your Y1 work.

  • For Y2, you will select 2 new Pay-for-Achievement (P4A) measures, as well as continuing to work on the 4 you selected in Y1. The updated P4A list will be released in January – stay tuned!

  • For Large volume providers, you will once again identify two Aim Statements and 3-5 milestones per Aim Statement for each of the 3 project areas (Bi-Directional Integration, Chronic Disease, Opioid). Transformation Plan Template - Large

  • For Medium volume providers, you will once again identify two Aim Statements and 3-5 milestones per Aim Statement for each of the 3 project areas (Bi-Directional Integration, Chronic Disease, Opioid). Transformation Plan Template - Medium

  • For Small volume providers, you will identify one Aim Statements and 3-5 milestones per Aim Statement for each of the 3 project areas (Bi-Directional Integration, Chronic Disease, Opioid). Transformation Plan Template - Small


Please let us know if you have questions. We will be sending more detailed information in mid-January, including your Year 2 payment information, budget template, and updated P4A measures list.
