Proposal for Contingency Management for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Member Incentives

As Colorado Access enters the new ACC Phase III contract with HCPF, it must implement a cost-effective member incentives program that aligns with evidence-based best practices and addresses a priority area identified by the department.One of HCPF’s priority areas is the implementation of Contingency Management for substance use disorder (SUD). Contingency Management is an evidence-based treatment approach that uses incentives to reinforce positive recovery behaviors and improve engagement and outcomes for individuals with SUD. Colorado Access seeks to partner with an in-network provider or organization that currently offers Contingency Management or similar incentive-based programs for individuals with SUD and has the capacity to integrate Colorado Access’s member incentives into their existing program model.

Selected provider(s) or organization(s) must be able to purchase and distribute alcohol, tobacco, and firearm (ATF) restricted incentives to eligible Colorado Access members who actively participate in the program. In addition, the provider(s) or organization(s) must have the capacity to collect and report program data to the Colorado Access Population Health team, including outcomes, successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
