Masspro has developed a robust network of partners to increase the breadth and depth of its adult immunization efforts. Our partners work with us to provide relevant education and information to health care providers and the public, develop and disseminate tools and best practices, and promote programs that offer reimbursement for vaccination-related activities.
Partners
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the administrator of the Medicare program and works with each state to administer its Medicaid program, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, and health insurance portability standards. CMS also oversees the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program, contracting with QIOs (like Masspro) to ensure that care paid for by the Medicare program is reasonable and medically necessary, meets professionally recognized standards of health care, and is provided in the most economical setting.
Massachusetts Medical Society
The Massachusetts Medical Society is the oldest continuously operating medical society in the United States. Its mission is to “…advance medical knowledge, to develop and maintain the highest professional and ethical standards of medical practice and health care, and to promote medical institutions formed on liberal principles for the health, benefit and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth."
