Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): Leadership

Healthcare leaders are responsible for transforming the healthcare system. The idea behind any leadership in the healthcare system is to deliver better value and results for patients through competition and innovation. Under the strong leadership of Seema Verma, CMS has led to the following accomplishments: • Stabilized the individual healthcare insurance market. • Restored the state and federal partnerships for Medicaid to promote work and financial independence. • Took action across all programs to lower the cost of prescription drugs. • Created novel access to virtual check-ins for Medicare beneficiaries.
