Thursday, November 30, 2017, 1 to 2 p.m. EST — CMS Administrator Seema Verma announced in September that the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) would shift its focus from promoting mandatory, large-scale value-based payment initiatives to an approach that stresses voluntary, home-grown efforts. The upshot: expanded waiver flexibility that will allow providers freedom to develop and test a wide variety of value-based solutions.

During this webinar, experts from HMA and Leavitt Partners will discuss why CMMI has adopted this new approach and what it means for providers. The webinar will also explore CMMI’s underlying desire to foster healthcare competition by promoting value-based payment models without creating market leverage.
