Families USA Statement for the Record for Hearing on the Transition To Value-Based Care

Families USA has submitted the statement for the record for the E&C Health Subcommittee hearing “Checking-In on CMMI: Assessing the Transition to Value-Based Care.”

Our statement for the record recommends members of the committee do the following:

• Continue to work with members of congress to support CMMI in in driving meaningful changes to U.S. health care payment and delivery.
• Increase in the number of mandatory alternative payment models in which providers are required to participate.
• Increase the number of global hospital budget and multi-payer models operated by CMMI to address both high hospital prices and fee-for-service economics.
• Advance the development of a primary care hybrid payment in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.

Our statement highlights the ways in which CMMI has already been leading the way by making major investments in the health care system that have trigged key transformational changes to the way health care is paid for and delivered.
