CMMI has announced that comments on the Value Based Insurance Design Model (VBID) request for information (RFI) are now due on February 16—two additional weeks from the original January 31 deadline.

In December 2023, CMMI released the RFI regarding implementation of networks and formulating an approach to network adequacy in the hospice benefit component of the VBID. After reviewing the questions and consulting with members, LeadingAge and other national partners requested that CMMI extend the deadline for comments to allow for more robust consideration of their questions.

The RFI and other components of the 2025 Request for Applications can be found here. Please email Katy Barnett (kbarnett@leadingage.org) with any thoughts or questions about the RFI.
