CMS Innovation Center

The CMS Innovation Center, part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, aims to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs for Medicare, Medicaid, and other health programs. It tests new healthcare delivery models, like new payment systems and care practices, to see what works best. When effective strategies are identified, they can be expanded to benefit a broader population. Essentially, the center focuses on innovative ways to enhance patient care and make healthcare more efficient and accessible for those who rely on government health programs.
