A long-running program at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established Accountable Care Organizations to treat patients holistically while offering providers share-in-savings incentives. It was designed by two CMS employees, John Pilotte, director of the performance-based payment policy group, and Heather Grimsley, director of the shared savings program division. The pair are finalists in this year’s Service to America Medals program. Grimsley explained the program to Federal News Radio’s Eric White on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
