What’s happening: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) anticipates it will delay the proposed Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model start date until after Jan. 1, 2025.  

What else to know: CMS anticipates a start date delay because it is still working to finalize the rule; the agency has not yet shared a new start date.

Earlier in the year, CHA raised significant concerns about the proposed model, including that CMS does not provide sufficient time for participants to prepare.
