Healthcare And Government

2. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): CMS is a federal agency under the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). It administers two programs: Medicare which assists in providing health insurance to people over 65 years old or with certain disabilities; and Medicaid which helps provide healthcare coverage to low-income individuals who qualify based on income level or other criteria. CMS sets regulations regarding eligibility requirements for both programs as well as rules governing provider reimbursement rates from providers such as physicians, hospitals and nursing homes.
