CTO Information

In MDPCP-AHEAD, there is a unique entity type: Care Transformation Organizations (CTOs). A CTO is defined as an entity that hires and manages an interdisciplinary care management team capable of furnishing an array of care coordination ​services to Maryland Medicare beneficiaries attributed to MDPCP-AHEAD participating practices and FQHCs. The interdisciplinary care management team may furnish care coordination services such as: pharmacist services, health and nutrition counseling services, behavioral health specialist services, referrals and linkages to social services, and support from health educators and Community Health Workers (CHWs). 

MDPCP-AHEAD participants have the option of partnering with a CTO every program year. Participants that choose to partner with a CTO will split their program payments in exchange for support from the CTO in providing care management to attributed beneficiaries and assisting participants with achieving care transformation requirements.
