- UCLA has been selected by CMS to participate in a Medicare alternative payment model for people living with dementia.
- The new payment model aims to increase care coordination and improve access to services for both individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
- The GUIDE Model, launched on July 1, 2024, offers comprehensive care plans, care coordination, and 24/7 access to an interdisciplinary care team.
- UCLA’s participation in the GUIDE Model will provide education, support, and respite services for caregivers, potentially delaying the need for facility care.
- The program aligns with the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers and supports the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease.
