Amy Bassano is a Managing Director at ºìÁì½í¹Ï±¨ and a nationally recognized Medicare policy expert. In this episode of Vital Viewpoints on Healthcare, we unpack the complexities of Medicare innovation and examine where the program is headed next. Drawing on decades of experience—including her leadership at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation—Amy breaks down what makes value-based care so complex, why scaling successful models is harder than it sounds, and how Medicare Advantage continues to reshape the healthcare landscape. She also discusses how financial incentives, regulatory constraints, and the urgent need for system-wide efficiency are shaping the next chapter of Medicare policy. This conversation offers practical insights for policymakers, providers, and advocates navigating the future of one of the nation’s most essential programs.
