In February, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched “CMS: Beyond the Policy,” a new podcast explaining recent updates and changes to Medicare policies and programs.

Episode 3 of this podcast highlights the “CMS Innovation Center: Where we are, How Models are Developed and the Next Steps in Value.” The CMS Innovation Center acts as a developer and testing ground for new innovative payment and service delivery models to improve quality of care for Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries. The episode features a discussion on the direction of the CMS Innovation Center with CMS Administrator Seema Verma and CMS Innovation Center Director Adam Boehler, moderated by CMS Director of the Office of Communications Tom Corry.

Episodes of “CMS: Beyond the Policy” are available for download on iTunes and Google Play. New episodes will be released periodically and will address a range of subjects.
