CMS Announces Proposed Model to Improve Access to Kidney Transplants

"*From the CMS Innovation Center:*"

Today, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) with its Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the Increasing Organ Transplant Access Model. The proposed mandatory model aligns with the HHS Organ Transplant Affinity Group’s [ https://www.cms.gov/blog/organ-transplantation-affinity-group-otag-strengthening-accountability-equity-and-performance ] initiatives to increase transplantation access through payment, quality, and regulatory efforts.

The model would be implemented by the CMS Innovation Center and run for six years, beginning January 1, 2025, with the aim to:


* Increase access to kidney transplants for people living with end-stage renal disease.
* Improve the quality of care for people seeking kidney transplants.
* Reduce disparities in kidney transplantation.
* Increase the efficiency and capability of transplant hospitals selected to participate.

Transplant hospitals assigned to participate in the model would be assessed on how well they increase the number of transplants, improve equity in the transplant process, increase organ acceptance rates, and improve post-transplant outcomes.

The proposed rule also includes standard provisions that would be applicable to all CMS Innovation Center models with a performance period that starts on or after January 1, 2025. These proposed standard provisions have been memorialized repeatedly in models’ governing documentation to date and by adopting them through rulemaking, the CMS Innovation Center aims to increase efficiency in the clearance process, as well as public transparency.

You may submit public comment to the proposed rule for the Increasing Organ Transplant Access Model and standard provisions on the Federal Register site [ https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2024-09989/medicare-program-alternative-payment-model-updates-and-the-increasing-organ-transplant-access-model ].
