CMMI Director Gilfillan’s Exit Sparks Concerns About ACA
Health care industry executives are expressing concern that implementation of the Affordable Care Act could be hampered by the impending departure of Richard Gilfillan, director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at CMS. Last week, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner said that Gilfillan -- who oversaw CMMI's efforts to lower costs and improve care quality under the ACA -- will be leaving the agency at the end of June.
