Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation
By CMS and CMMI
CMS JUST ANNOUNCED a new Innovation Model from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, the Random Payment Generator, which will launch as a demonstration in January 2017.
“We’re pleased to add an eighth category of Innovation Models to our innovation portfolio,”
says CMMI spokesperson Dr. Emmett Brown.
“We felt that with the wide range of models developed to date, we needed to develop a ‘placebo’ initiative that could be measured against the various concepts we have been testing. We’ll be able to better determine if simply taking random actions while facing the formidable challenges in purchasing and coordinating healthcare services yields any different results than the complex models we have undertaken.”
The Random Payment Generator will simply randomize payment amounts to be paid for billed services, based on an algorithm that has programmed into repurposed surplus portable equipment being distributed to Medicare Administrative Contractors. Doctor Brown explained that the older equipment has no Internet connectivity and thus is not susceptible to breaches from outside hackers.
CMS is seeking hospital and medical group applicants to participate in the one-year Medicare trial in which they may render services and submit billings without being subject to most provider program requirements, but will accept whatever payment amount is assigned by the Random Payment Generator as payment in full.
“A number of provider participants in our other models have complained that they can’t understand or find any logic in how they are getting paid, and the basis for payment under this new model will certainly be easier to communicate and understand,”
Doctor Brown continued.
