The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation was established by the ACA in 2010. The program develops and implements value-based payment models for Medicare and Medicaid.
The CBO’s report, published Sept. 28, found that from 2011 to 2020, the CMMI increased federal spending by $5.4 billion, around 0.1 of net Medicare spending. According to the report, the center spent $7.9 billion to operate new models, and saved $2.6 billion from these models.
The CBO estimated the innovation center will increase federal spending by $1.3 billion from 2021 to 2030.
