ACP co-hosts webinar tomorrow on new accountable care organization model
The webinar is for primary care physicians interested in participating in the new Accountable Care Organization Primary Care Flex Model, a voluntary CMS program that will provide more predictable payments by testing primary care capitation.
ACP will join the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medical Association in hosting a live, member-exclusive webinar with CMS staff on Wednesday, July 17, from 7 to 8 pm ET.
The webinar is for primary care physicians interested in participating in the new Accountable Care Organization Primary Care Flex Model (ACO PC Flex). ACO PC Flex is a voluntary five-year program that will provide more predictable payments by testing primary care capitation within the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP).
During the webinar, CMS staff will:
- Give an overview of key elements of the model and the request for applications;
- Address frequently asked questions on common themes; and
- Participate in a live Q&A.
ACOs defined as "low revenue" are eligible to apply for the new model. ACOs must first apply to the MSSP, then submit a supplemental ACO PC Flex questionnaire by Aug. 1. All primary care practices participating within an ACO, as defined by tax identification numbers, must participate.
