On Wed., Jan. 25, ACP will be joining with CMS and other medical societies to discuss the new Advanced Payment Model.
The Advanced Payment Model is a program for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) that is designed to facilitate the participation of small practices by allowing them to collect a pre-payment of expected savings that would be generated through their participation. This “Advanced Payment” would allow practices to better invest in building care coordination capabilities and other program criteria. In addition, the program will not require repayment of the advance in the event that savings are not achieved.
The call will be held on Jan. 25, at 7 p.m. EST, 800-837-1935, Conference ID 45474183. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the call.
