Modernizing Medicare’s Prevention Policies
|
|
The recently enacted Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) broke with 43 years of precedent and, for the first time, gave the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the authority to add preventive services to Medicare without Congressional action. This creates an exciting opportunity for the Medicare program to craft a set of policies that will modernize Medicare’s approach to prevention. This paper presents and discusses some of the options available to the Medicare program. |
