CMS issued a proposed rule Aug. 9 that would make sweeping changes to the Medicare Shared Savings Program, including overhauling the way ACOs share in risks and rewards.

1. The redesigned program — which CMS has dubbed “Pathways to Success” — would expand ACO participation agreements from three years to five years and offer eligible ACOs two participation options: “basic” and “enhanced.”
