Colorado State Innovation Model (SIM)

The Colorado State Innovation Model (SIM) helps primary care practice sites and bidirectional health homes integrate behavioral health and primary care and test alternative payment models. The initiative, which was created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), helps progress along a continuum of integration to ensure better health outcomes at lower prices. Providers say the supports they receive through SIM will help them succeed in alternative payment models. In practical terms, SIM helps ensure that patients receive whole-person care from appropriate care providers at the right time in the right place.
