Report No. GAO-18-302
Summary:

Federal spending on health care—driven primarily by Medicare and Medicaid—is expected to top $1 trillion in 2018.

The Affordable Care Act created the CMS Innovation Center to test new approaches to health care delivery, known as models, that could curb spending while providing better care. We reviewed the center's efforts.

Since 2010, the center has tested or is in the process of testing 37 models. In evaluating these models, the Innovation Center has recommended the expansion of 2 Medicare models that reduced costs and maintained or improved care quality. Evaluations have also helped the center improve new model design and operation.
