Ahead of the September 6 comment deadline, the American Medical Association and 10 other provider organizations submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on how the 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule affects accountable care organization models.

This includes giving ACOs more time before advancing to the highest levels of risk, providing fairer, more accurate financial benchmarks, positive changes to quality scoring approaches and providing advanced shared savings payments to smaller ACOs that serve underserved populations, the letter said.
