Energy and Commerce Committee to Hold Hearing on CMS, Value-Based Care

WASHINGTON—House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Subcommittee on Health Chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY) announced a subcommittee hearing titled “Checking-In on CMMI: Assessing the Transition to Value-Based Care.”

“As medical innovation continues to open doors to improving and extending life, it’s important that government programs that pay for care keep pace. CMMI was created over a decade ago and provided billions in funding and broad authority to find ways to save taxpayer dollars and improve health outcomes for patients. However, to date, it has little to show in demonstrated successful outcomes,” said Chairs Rodgers and Guthrie. “This hearing will give Members a chance to hear from the head of CMMI about the challenges to achieving their intended mission and consider whether Congress needs to step in to provide clearer direction or take other steps to ensure beneficiaries are best served.”

Subcommittee on Health hearing titled “Checking-In on CMMI: Assessing the Transition to Value-Based Care.”
