Hogan To Sign Maryland Medicare & Medicaid Model Contract Monday

July 8th, 2018 by WCBC Radio

Governor Larry Hogan, Maryland Department of Health Secretary Robert R. Neall, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) will host the Maryland Total Cost of Care All-Payer Model (Maryland Model) Contract Signing Ceremony on Monday, July 9, commemorating Maryland beginning the next phase of health care innovation. 

The Maryland Model is unique to Maryland and made possible via a contract between CMS and the state. It aims to control the growth in health care costs, both at hospitals and community providers, while improving patient outcomes and quality of care. This comprehensive approach ensures the patient is at the center of decision making and their needs are being met with greater transparency and accountability.
