The states--Arkansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon and Vermont--are the furthest along in participating in the reform law-authorized State Innovation Model awards program. Another 19 states will receive smaller awards totaling about $50 million to complete development of health care transformation programs.
Three of the 19 states received pre-testing funds to continue work on a State Health Care Innovation Plan, and 16 got funding to create model designs that produce an innovation plan within six months. When ready, states can apply for model testing funds.
