CMS Proposes 'Pathways to Success,' an Overhaul of Medicare's ACO Program
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] [Guidance Overview] Aug. 10, 2018
"CMS proposes to require that beneficiaries receive a notification at their first primary care visit of a performance year informing them that they are in an ACO and explaining what that means for their care.... CMS proposes to allow certain ACOs under performance-based risk to provide incentive payments to patients for taking steps to achieve good health.... Pathways to Success includes proposed changes ... such as allowing physicians in ACOs that take on risk to receive payment for telehealth services provided to patients regardless of the patient's location -- including at their place of residence.... Pathways to Success proposes incorporating regional spending into ACO targets earlier, starting during an ACO's first agreement period. In addition, the proposal would authorize termination of ACOs with multiple years of poor financial performance."
