The STCs will continue to shift the economic drivers away from fee-for-service to a value-based, person-centered approach to health through Medicaid and Medicare collaboration and partnership.

Key Components of the State Transformation Collaboratives (STCs)

Four distinct working groups, each dedicated to transforming health care in a specific state or region within a state

Comprised of payers, providers, health systems, purchasers, patient advocates, and community organizations

Locally-focused approach to addressing the needs of state populations through alternative health care payment

State initiatives focus on achieving health equity via payment reform and are grounded in HEAT APM Guidance for equity centered design and implementation
