Value-Based Care Stakeholder Recommendations to Improve CMMI

This document is a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, presenting stakeholder recommendations aimed at improving the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) and its value-based care models. It outlines the successes of various models, such as the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Model and the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) Model, which have demonstrated significant savings and improved patient outcomes. However, it notes that these models have not been permanently expanded, leading to uncertainty for healthcare providers. The letter suggests that Congress should work with CMMI to create a more predictable pathway for model implementation and expansion. Recommendations include focusing on filling gaps in Alternative Payment Model (APM) opportunities, broadening criteria for model expansion, engaging stakeholders in model development, and improving evaluation strategies. The organizations express their commitment to collaborating with the subcommittee to advance value-based care.
