Established in 2008, the fund allowed the Department of Health and Human Services to make improvements under the original Medicare fee-for-service program under Parts A and B. For fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2017, $19.9 billion would be made available from the Parts A and B trust funds. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminated the Medicare Improvement Fund and created a new Innovation Center within Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, making the fund redundant.
