New CMS Unit Will Oversee 18 Reform Models

E-mail Print PDF
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, which begins full-scale operations as part of the CMS in 2011, will be responsible for developing at least 18 reform models specified under the new health reform law, including patient-centered medical homes; promotion of care coordination through salary-based payment; community-based health teams to support small-practice medical homes; use of health information technology to coordinate care for the chronically ill; and salary-based payment for physicians.

The center should also be open to payment reform approaches led by states or private-sector entities, taking into account geographic differences in healthcare and the environments in which care is provided. It should also include among its pilots a variety of payment models.
