HHS Releases Final Regulations for ACOs, Announces Advance Payment Model
The Department of Health and Human Services released final rules for the voluntary Medicare Shared Savings Program aka Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and also announced an Advance Payment model available to physician-owned and rural ACOs. The final rule has several changes from the original proposed rule, including that Rural Health Clinics are now eligible entities to form and participate in ACOs. CRHC will closely review the final rule and Advance Payment model and communicate with our members in coming weeks about the potential impacts and opportunities for rural communities.
