Complicating this challenge, CMS also faces an aging workforce that is eligible to retire, which may cost it much of its institutional knowledge. These factors simply add to a backdrop of increasing workload pressures to meet the very ambitious requirements of MMA and their existing challenges.

CMS processes more than 1 billion claims per year, providing service to 82 million beneficiaries - 1 in 4 Americans
