The Biden administration wants to move away from creating value-based care payment models for every type of disease, episode of care or specialty groups to streamline its projects, a top official said.
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Director Liz Fowler said during a briefing Tuesday hosted by the Alliance for Health Policy that more mandatory models are needed, including those that focus on the total cost of care.
“In my mind, I think we should look down the mandatory model line … but we need to move away from having a model for every episode and specialty group,” Fowler said.
