Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs)

ACHs and MTP

Under the terms of MTP 2.0, Washington State's Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver, ACHs are responsible for managing their own regional Community Care Hubs that:

• Provide services described in the Special Terms and Conditions (STC) 15.2(c) to eligible Apple Health enrollees
• Provide vital HRSN service administration support to the HRSN fee-for-service program
• Build HRSN service capacity across the state (see STC 15.4)

Community Care Hubs function as a central source for connecting individuals with health care needs and HRSN screening and referrals. The Community Care Hubs Referral Pathways document identifies the nine hubs, the services they provide, and contact information for those seeking services. Community Care Hubs coordinate referrals by working closely with community organizations, social service, health care facilities, correctional institutions, and governmental bodies. The hubs connect individuals with trained community-based workers (CBW), who provide personalized support to achieve health goals.
