CMS Adds 20 Organizations to Care Transitions Program

CMS announced that it has selected 20 new organizations to participate in its Community-based Care Transitions Program.

The CCTP is a five-year program created by the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act. Participants sign two-year program agreements with CMS, with the option to renew each year for the remainder of the program based on their success. The program tests models for improving care transitions from hospital to other settings and aims to reduce readmissions for high-risk Medicare beneficiaries.
