Building on the current CMS framework, it remains important to acknowledge the uncertainty surrounding future policies. At the time of this writing, CMS has made significant strides in integrating SDOH into health care delivery. These initiatives—including standardized data collection, billing mechanisms, and value-based payment adjustments—reflect a commitment to advancing health equity. The future of these policies remains uncertain. Administrative shifts may influence funding, implementation strategies, and the prioritization of health equity initiatives within federal health care programs.
