Call for Nominations: Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is accepting nominations for the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC).
This independent federal advisory committee consists of eleven members from a wide-range of backgrounds who make recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on stakeholder-submitted physician-focused payment models and related topics.
The group is supported by staff from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) within HHS. Last year, the group held meetings in September addressing:
- Challenges facing patients and providers in rural communities
- Approaches for incorporating rural providers in provider-based total cost of care (PB-TCOC) model design
- Provider perspectives on payment issues related to rural providers in PB-TCOC models
- Incentives for increasing rural providers’ participation in PB-TCOC models,
- Successful interventions and models for encouraging value-based transformation in rural areas.
