The Washington Post: PIPC's Tony Coelho Discusses Need for Change in Medicare's Innovation Center

12/13/2016

 
Picture
In response to Washington Post opinion article, "Keep this part of Obamacare," PIPC Chairman Tony Coelho emphasizes the fact that while the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) appears to be doing "some good work," it is also in serious need of changes to protect patients. "The Innovation Center created significant (if unintended) risks with some models that patients identified as going too far and driving “one-size-fits-all” care in stark contradiction of the nation’s drive to develop targeted therapies under the Precision Medicine Initiative and Cancer Moonshot," Coelho writes. "We all want health care to pay for value and not volume, but the real question is value for whom?"
