The Trump administration will have its own vision on value-based care, creating specific priorities for the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the federal government’s primary testing ground for payment and service delivery model innovation in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Republican political leadership may leverage CMMI’s $10 billion budget and sweeping waiver authorities to design and implement value-based care models that reflect the Trump administration’s goals. While specific actions remain unknown, the potential overall direction and key focus areas of CMMI can be forecast based on the work of the first Trump administration and incoming leadership.
This +Insight examines the current value-based care landscape and explores the potential changes on the horizon that are likely to bring both opportunities and challenges.
