Technical Assistance Monitoring and

CMS Equity Plan for Improving Quality
in Medicare (CMS Equity Plan for
Medicare). The Plan outlines CMS’ path
to help advance health equity by
improving the quality of care provided
to minority and other underserved
Medicare beneficiaries, particularly
those with disparities in chronic
diseases. CMS identified six highimpact priority areas based on a review
of the evidence base and stakeholder
input. These priorities encompass both

Technical Assistance (TA) email
(HealthEquityTA@cms.hhs.gov) to
support CMS programs as they integrate
health equity into their programs. This
TA offers guidance from health equity
subject matter experts on a variety of
topics including reviewing data to
identify health disparities, identifying
root causes of health disparities, gaining
an organizational champion, building
organizational capacity to address
health disparities, implementing
interventions, tracking success of
