Opioid Abatement Discharge Bridge Programs

The Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) is issuing a Request for Applications (RFA) to fund hospitals or health groups in Virginia to create or expand Discharge Bridge Programs (DBPs). These programs aim to improve post‑acute care transitions, reduce readmissions, and ensure continuity of care for patients leaving the hospital. Funding is intended to support program start‑up or expansion, with the expectation that the DBP will remain operational after the initial grant period.
