Is MAHA ELEVATE Right for Your Organization? A Practical Guide for Senior Care Providers

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) new Make America Healthy Again: Enhancing Lifestyle and Evaluating Value-Based Approaches Through Evidence (MAHA ELEVATE) model offers a unique opportunity for advanced senior care organizations (including senior living communities) to scale existing evidence-based lifestyle and functional medicine programs. With the Letter of Intent (LOI) for Cohort 1 due April 10, 2026, this webinar offers practical guidance to help organizations quickly determine whether to pursue an LOI submission.

This session breaks down the key eligibility requirements, operational expectations, and strategic decision points that determine whether a senior care provider is well-positioned to participate and succeed in MAHA ELEVATE. Topics include clinical and academic partnerships, participant recruitment capacity, data readiness, and the ability to scale proven interventions. The session concludes with an open Q&A to help organizations assess the opportunity and identify immediate next steps ahead of the LOI deadline.

 Speakers:

• Brian Fuller, Managing Director, Value-Based Care Design and Delivery (ATI Advisory)
• Janelle Gingold, Director, Provider Strategy and Care Transformation (ATI Advisory)
