The National Association of Accountable Care Organizations (NAACOS) today launched a new taskforce to help doctors and hospitals understand and prepare for new value-based payment models.
The nonprofit organization, which represents hundreds of organizations participating in new payment and delivery models, announced the formation of its direct contracting task force that will offer tools to providers to assess and participate in the latest accountable care model from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS announced the new primary care alternative payment models last April and last month announced it is now accepting applications for the new program it calls “Direct Contracting.” Offered by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the program will test an array of financial risk-sharing arrangements.
