Executive Update: CMS Health Demonstration Projects and Policies

This executive update provides an update on the reimbursement policy trends from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regarding digital health applications and services. It analyzes the status of key Medicare demonstration projects and their impact. The report also examines state-run Medicaid program’s stance on emerging digital health technologies.

“The government reimbursement policy remains a sore spot for the growth of the digital health industry,” said Harry Wang, Senior Analyst with Parks Associates. “Technology vendors should learn from the experience of the disease management industry with the Medicare Health Support Pilot program and find a better way to engage government at both the federal and state levels and eventually convince them of the value of technology to the U.S. healthcare industry.”

The Executive Update is a concise, executive-level summary of the current state of the market, evolutionary path, and the implications for companies doing business in this space.
