As a coalition dedicated to advancing PRx in healthcare, we appreciated the opportunity to share a brief with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services team. With the support of CMS, Food is Medicine services are being scaled across the country, with recent evaluations showing reduced costs and improved health (!!).
In our brief, we–
✔️ Highlight how much the field has learned from CMS’ 1115 Medicaid Waivers
✔️ Detail the safeguards in place for FIM program integrity
✔️ Recommend including PRx in the Medicare cardiac rehabilitation benefit
We are so thrilled that there is interest at CMS to continue the conversation around Food is Medicine and improve health across the US. You can read the brief in full here.
