As a result of the many provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) was created to promote quality healthcare, stronger health outcomes, and encourage fiscal responsibility. CMMI acts as the facilitator for designing the most efficient payment methodology for reimbursing healthcare providers based on value rather than volume. CMMI also provides a platform for doctors, stakeholders, and other health care partners to participate in a collaborative process for generating the ultimate pay-for-performance model.nnCMMI is responsible for the implementation and oversight of Quality Payment Program (QPP), which aligns all other incentive programs such as Meaningful Use, Value Based Payment Modifier, and PQRS. Practices will begin to see the financial impact of QPP starting in 2018. Upcoming CMMI initiatives include:n
