Dr. Mehmet Oz has been confirmed as the new administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In this role, Dr. Oz will oversee Medicare and Medicaid programs, which are key to providing health-care services for millions of Americans, particularly in post-acute and long-term care settings.
His appointment comes as post-acute and long-term care settings face challenges such as workforce shortages and evolving regulatory needs. As CMS administrator, Dr. Oz could influence policies related to reimbursement, care delivery, and quality measures.
PALTmed will be watching his leadership as CMS works through these issues in the coming years.
