Carotid ultrasound measures carotid plaque burden and intima-media thickness (CIMT), both of which are critical for cardiovascular risk assessment
CMS eliminated separate payment terms due to concerns that payment streams separate from capitation rates undermine the risk-based nature of managed care and are often driven by the underlying financing of the non-federal share. Medicaid and CHIP Payment And Access Commission, Directed Payments in Medicaid Managed Care, October 2024 Issue Brief, p.6, Connecticut does not have capitated managed care arrangements but does carry out many managed care functions through ASO arrangements that include payment incentives based on performance, intensive care management, community workers, educators, and linkages with primary care practices
