The Health Home Core Sets of quality measures for Medicaid are key indicators of the access to—and quality of—the health care that Medicaid health home enrollees receive. The Core Sets are important tools states can use to monitor and improve the quality of health care provided to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in a health home program.
Mathematica is supporting the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) by convening the 2026 Health Home Core Sets Annual Review Workgroup to review and strengthen the Health Home Core Sets. This year’s review will focus on updates to the 1945 and 1945A Health Home Core Sets.
Materials from previous Health Home Core Set Annual Reviews can be located in the resources archive.
The final report of the 2026 Health Home Core Sets Annual Review is now available. This report summarizes the Workgroup process, discussion, recommendations, and public comments. The report is available for download at the link below.
