The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) will save far less in the coming years than the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected, according to an analysis conducted by Avalere.
Avalere, a health care research and consulting firm, estimates that CMMI will save $18 billion from 2017 to 2026. The CBO had projected $34 billion in net federal government savings over that same time period.
CMMI is being relied on to reduce costs as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to emphasize value-based care. That, and testing and innovating new payment and delivery models, is the purpose of CMMI.
