The session will provide a brief overview of the GUIDE model and offer a forum to address questions about the model, the Request for Applications, and the application process. The GUIDE model is primarily focused on better supporting caregivers of people with dementia through care coordination (primary and behavioral health services). It calls for providing a care navigator to help access services and supports, including clinical services and non-clinical services such as meals and transportation through community-based organizations. GUIDE will be tested nationwide from 2024-2032 as a voluntary alternative payment model ([APM](https://innovation.cms.gov/key-concept/apms)) through the CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). The model will launch on July 1, 2024. Qualified participating health care providers will deliver comprehensive, person-centered assessments and care plans, care coordination, and 24/7 access to a support line. Providers eligible to be GUIDE participants are Medicare Part B-enrolled providers and suppliers. If an applicant cannot meet the GUIDE care delivery requirements alone, they may contract with another Medicare provider/supplier to meet the care delivery requirements. Eligibility requirements and additional model details can be found in the [Request for Applications (RFA) (PDF)](https://www.cms.gov/files/document/guide-rfa.pdf). Interested applicants should [submit their application via web portal](https://app.innovation.cms.gov/GUIDE/IDMLogin?ec=302&startURL=%2FGUIDE%2Fs%2F) by Tuesday, January 30, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST.
