Contact: Elizabeth Goodsitt/Jennifer Miller 608-266-1683 Wisconsin Accepting Applications to Pilot New Approach to Treating Substance Use Disorders Successful Organizations will be the Hubs in New Hub and Spoke Model The Department of Health Services is inviting interested organizations to apply to pilot a new hub and spoke model intended to help Wisconsin Medicaid members with not only substance use disorders but also other physical and behavioral health issues that challenge their efforts in recovery. In this model, an organization takes the lead as a "hub" on the care of the Wisconsinites in their program, ensuring that substance use disorder treatment and other health care needs are addressed. The hub then works with a network of "spoke" organizations which provide a range of services that are customized to support each individual's unique circumstances. "Piloting the hub and spoke model is the next step in integrating quality health care for individuals with a substance use disorder," said Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. "Using the hub and spoke model of care, the sites selected for our pilot will increase access and provide a higher level of care. Wisconsinites in need will receive individualized comprehensive care services that improve their physical and behavioral health, build social support systems, and address their substance use issues, leading to better outcomes."
