Specifications include, but are not limited to: The goal of the Integrated Health Partnerships (IHP) program is to improve the quality and value of the care provided to the citizens served by Minnesota’s public health care programs. This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits a response from organizations interested in participating in the Integrated Health Partnerships (IHP) program. The IHP program allows provider organizations to voluntarily contract with DHS under a payment model that holds these organizations accountable for the total cost of care and quality of services provided to this population while providing care for Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) recipients in both fee-for-service (FFS) and managed care. Within this structure, DHS seeks to expand the IHP program in different geographic regions of the state and across the full scope of care and incentivizes the inclusion and integration of substance use and mental health services, safety net providers, social service agencies, and community-based organizations. The project includes incentives for improving quality of care, addressing health disparities, addressing social determinants of health, targeted savings, and will result in increased competition in the marketplace through direct contracting with providers.
