At CMMI, she worked in the Division of Health Plan Innovation, with a primary focus on addressing Medicare Advantage issues. Ciannah has also held roles as a research assistant at KFF’s Program on Medicare, a data and performance analyst at the Patient Access Collaborative, and a public health research advocate at AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

The Medicare Policy Initiative is part of the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center on Health Insurance Reform (CHIR). The Medicare Policy Initiative (MPI) is shining a light on how Medicare and the Medicare Advantage program can be strengthened so that seniors and taxpayers can get the best possible care and value for their money. This new initiative at CHIR will be doing rapid turnaround policy analysis and provide technical assistance on issues related to Medicare Advantage payment, coverage, and costs.
