Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed several alternative payment models (APMs) as part of their efforts to transition from traditional fee-for-service payment systems to value-based care models. These APMs include accountable care organizations (ACOs), bundled payments, and patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), among others. The Affordable Care Act and Social Security Amendments of 1983 have influenced healthcare payment policies in the United States, but they are not responsible for the development of the specific payment systems mentioned in the question. The Department of Health/Human Services also plays a role in healthcare payment policies as the parent agency of CMS, but CMS is the primary driver of payment system innovation.
