The Alliance Conversation Series
On May 17th the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a proposed mandatory model, the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model, which aims to increase life saving transplants for patients living with kidney disease and reduce medicare expenditures. This model would focus on encouraging transplant hospitals to use more of the kidneys that become available for transplantation and facilitate more transplants from living donors. This model would affect identified DSAs, which are unknown at this time, and would affect a variety of operational and financial expectations. This webinar will provide a high level overview of key provisions in the IOTA model, review basics of the payment policies, and outline actions Transplant Centers should utilize to evaluate potential impact to their own organizations.
