Accountable care organizations are calling on the feds to increase participation of long-term and post-acute care providers in ACOs and to better incorporate episodic-based payments.
The recently released white paper highlights ways the ACO REACH Model and Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) can be utilized to grow participation.
“If CMS is to achieve its goal of having all Medicare beneficiaries in an accountable care relationship by 2030, then it must take steps to better include provider types less represented in ACOs, including SNFs,” said National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Aisha Pittman. “We hope our recommendations spark attention to this area, because patients served by LTPAC providers deserve the higher quality, lower cost care we know value-based care delivers.”
