CMS Reorganization

Last month, OPM announced a reorganization, and this month the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is doing the same. The Hill has an interesting report about the changes, which were announced on Wednesday by internal CMS email, a copy of which is included in the Hill article. The article points out that CMS has not had a Senate confirmed Administrator since October 2006 when Mark McClellan left that post.  President Obama has not nominated an Administrator. Since he took office, CMS's chief operating officer Charlene M. Frizzera has been acting administrator.
