The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers the Medicare program and works in partnership with States to administer Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). About one in four Americans receives health coverage.
Medicaid provides healthcare to millions of low-income families with children, aged, blind or disabled persons. It is the Department’s largest grant program in terms of funding levels. The SCHIP allows States to initiate and/or expand health insurance to uninsured, low-income children.
In addition to these programs CMS administers a number of quality focused activities that benefit all Americans. CMS program objectives include:
- Building and Maintaining a Skilled, Committed, and Highly Motivated Workforce
- Accurate and Predictable Payments
- High-Value Health Care
- Confident, Informed Consumers
- Collaborative Partnerships
• NOTE: Medicare, the nation's largest health insurance program, is a direct payment program and its funding levels are not included in the CMS grant totals. Grant programs which support the administration of some Medicare services are included in CMS totals
