Nevada Division of Health Care Financing and Policy Awarded $2,000,000
For State Innovative Model Grant
In July 2014, the Nevada Division of Health Care Financing and Policy (DHCFP), working closely with the
Governor’s office, submitted an application for the State Innovation Models (SIM) grant from the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In December 2014, Nevada was awarded a SIM
grant in the amount of $2,000,000 beginning February 1, 2015 and ending January 31, 2016
The intent of the grant is to develop innovative plans that will achieve the following:
• Improve access to care for Nevadans
• Improve the health status of Nevadans
• Reform the healthcare delivery and payment system in Nevada
• Contain healthcare costs while increasing healthcare value
And that will integrate the strategies of Governor Sandoval’s core health priorities:
• Access to affordable and high quality health care
• Prevention strategies that increase awareness
• Wellness initiatives that educate, encourage and empower
• Chronic disease
• Quality of health services
• Improve pre-natal care
• Provide accessible and affordable mental health services.
The experience and knowledge that Nevada Stakeholders have to offer is an integral part of the success
of developing the Nevada SIM design. DHCFP will be meeting with Stakeholders to design innovative,
healthcare payment and service delivery models that will achieve the vision of the SIM grant resulting in
better health, better care and lower costs for Nevada’s population.
Because Stakeholders’ opinions and thoughts on Nevada healthcare are valuable, please participate in
the survey located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NV_SIM. We will consider all ideas during the
development of the Model Design.
The Nevada SIM website https://dhcfp.nv.gov/SIM.htm is a great resource for learning more about the
SIM grant. To be included in future meetings, or receive updates and newsletters, please send a request
in an email to NVSIM@mslc.com. Please share this information with anyone that may be interested.
