Submit your app to the Medicare App Library
Join the Medicare App Library and connect your health application to millions of Medicare beneficiaries.
How it works
You'll need to sign the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge before getting started. Learn more about the Pledge
Secure
Implement identity verification standards with either ID.me or CLEAR.
Integrate
Connect to CMS-aligned networks and implement security and interoperability standards.
Review
Complete a third-party vetting review through the DiMe Seal or CARIN Alliance-CFA program
Submit
Submit your app for review for being listed in the Medicare App Library.
Build apps for our initial use cases
Deliver immediate value to patients through real-world, high-impact tools that are secure, user-centered, and connected.
Kill the clipboard
Replace clipboard forms with FHIR-based data exchange. Accept verified patient identity and health history at the point of care via QR code, Smart Health Card, or Smart Health links, returning a structured visit summary.
Conversational AI assistants
Build AI-powered tools that access clinical records through a CMS Aligned Network to deliver personalized guidance. Responses must be clearly labeled as AI-generated and distinguish educational content from clinical advice.
Diabetes & weight management
Connect to CMS Aligned Networks to power tailored coaching, risk alerts, and chronic disease support. Apps must address both prevention and active management, including specific resources for pre-diabetic patients.
Get listed in the Medicare App Library
Signing the Health Tech Ecosystem pledge is your first step toward being listed in the Medicare App Library. Your app must meet CMS pledge requirements across these areas: security and privacy, interoperability, and independent accreditation.
Once you've fulfilled your pledge, submit your app to CMS for review. If all criteria are met, your app will be included in the Medicare App Library.
ACCESS Model participants are exempt from CMS Review and Trial Access requirements and receive a special designation in the Medicare App Library.
Identity verification
Verify patient identity using CMS-approved services that meet IAL2 and AAL2 standards. Partner with ID.me or CLEAR to implement secure identity verification.
Interoperability
Connect to the CMS health data ecosystem using open standards. Your app must support FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR authorization, and integrate with a CMS Aligned Network.
Accreditation
Complete independent evaluation through a CMS-recognized vetting partner. Choose either the DiMe Seal or CARIN Alliance Code of Conduct with DirectTrust Accreditation.
