In NAACOS' response to the 2025 #Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, we acknowledge and appreciate that many of the #physicianpayment and MSSP policies in the proposed rule will enable providers to deliver comprehensive care management and provide enhanced beneficiary care services, including policies to create payment for advanced #primarycare, receive shared savings payments in advance, and provide a health equity benchmark adjustment in MSSP. While we support these changes, we are concerned that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has not addressed two key policy issues that, if left unaddressed, will significantly hamper participation in MSSP and impede CMS' goal to have all beneficiaries in accountable care models by 2030. We urge CMS to address: 1. Flawed approaches to quality measurement and interoperability 2. Financial benchmarks and long-term viability Read more in our comments: https://lnkd.in/e9vaf84y

Earlier this summer, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the new Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM). TEAM is a mandatory bundled payment model that will test giving hospitals financial accountability for certain episodes, starting Jan. 2026, running for five years. TEAM will focus on lower extremity joint replacement, surgical hip and femur fracture treatment, spinal fusion, coronary artery bypass graft and major bowel procedure. The Institute for Accountable Care (IAC) has developed a series of resources to help organizations evaluate the model and prepare for success. https://lnkd.in/e-JyCSPY You can also join NAACOS and IAC this Thursday 9/5 at 2:00pm ET for an informative webinar discussing the model.

NAACOS recently submitted feedback to the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) on how to address the needs of patient with complex chronic conditions or serious illnesses in population-based total cost of care models. In comments, NAACOS recommended that policymakers design specific program policies to account for high-cost, high needs beneficiaries who are significantly different from the average traditional #Medicare beneficiary, including financial methodologies, attribution models, and quality measurement.
