Abolish the CMMI Act
To abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
This bill, HB8293, proposes to abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). The CMMI is an organization that tests new ways to deliver healthcare and pay for it under Medicare and Medicaid. If this bill passes, the CMMI would no longer exist, and the government would need to find new ways to test healthcare delivery and payment models.
The changes would affect healthcare providers, insurers, and patients who participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs. By removing the CMMI, there might be fewer new approaches to healthcare delivery and payment tested, potentially impacting how care is provided and paid for under these programs.
HB8293 was introduced on April 15, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Committee on Ways and Means. The bill is still in its early stages, and further actions will be determined by these committees. No further steps have been taken yet, and the bill's future remains uncertain.
