The Senate Finance Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Marilyn Tavenner, the White House's nominee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The committee's chairman, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), told the Bureau of National Affairs the hearing would take place “soon.”
Tavenner has been acting CMS administrator since Donald Berwick's departure in December 2011. Her appointment expired at the end of the 112th Congress on Jan. 3. President Barack Obama renominated her to head the agency on Feb. 7.
