Request for Information (RFI) announced seeking input on improving pediatric care

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced today a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input on approaches to improve pediatric care. Through the RFI, CMS is specifically seeking input on approaches to improve the quality and reduce the cost of care for children and youth enrolled in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Furthermore, CMS is exploring concepts that encourage pediatric providers to collaborate with health-related social service providers at the state, tribal, and local levels and share accountability for health outcomes for children and youth enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP.

CMS understands that investing in child health can provide lifelong benefits and improve the nation’s health. We invite you, as a stakeholder who shares our dedication to improving the health of our nation’s children, to submit comments. Please submit comments and questions via email to xxxxxx@cms.hhs.gov by 11:59 PM on March 28th, 2017.

For more information about the RFI, please visit the CMS Innovation Center website.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has sent this Innovations.cms.gov- Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Update. To contact Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) go to our contact us page.
