CMS Now Accepting Applications for the Medicare Shared Savings Program – Apply by June 17
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is now accepting applications for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
In this program, groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers collaborate, with the goal of offering coordinated high-quality care to people with Medicare.
ACOs inexperienced with risk-based payments and who provide care to rural and underserved beneficiaries may be interested in Advance Investment Payments, and those interested in alternative payments for primary care providers may consider the ACO Primary Care Flex Model. Interested ACOs must first apply to the Shared Savings Program.
Email questions to: SharedSavingsProgram@cms.hhs.gov
To learn more about the application process, register for the upcoming June 5 webinar on Completing Phase 1 of the Application and Avoiding Common Deficiencies.
