The bid for the CMS 13th SOW represents an opportunity to extend this legacy and continue its mission to improve the health of Medicare beneficiaries.
“WHA played a key role in the creation of Superior Health Quality Alliance back in 2019, contributing WHA’s expertise to support Superior Health’s collaborative efforts to drive quality improvement and winning the current 12
th SOW 5-year contract,” said Eric Borgerding, President/CEO of WHA. “We are looking forward to continuing this partnership for the next 5 years working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) federal program designed to support data-driven health and technical assistance solutions to improve the lives of Medicare beneficiaries.”

This initiative plays a crucial role in uniting Medicare beneficiaries, providers, and communities to enhance patient safety, promote healthier communities, and improve the coordination of care. The program’s regional focus ensures that best practices are tailored to local needs while spreading effective solutions quickly.
