1 Financial and Regulatory Parameters for MSSP Risk Tracks in ACO Learning Network Comments and the blue box indicates LN different from ; red text indicates change from and/or LN on Transition to Two-Sided Model Allow ACOs to remain in a one-sided risk model for an additional performance period (not to exceed a total of 6 years in one-sided risk) before being required to transition into a twosided risk model and LN Comment ACOs may elect Track 2 without completing a under a one-sided model ACOs cannot switch into Track 1 for subsequent agreement periods rule ACOs may elect Track 3 without completing a under a one-sided model ACOs cannot switch into Track 1 for subsequent agreement periods Shard Savings Rate Up to 50% based on quality performance in the first performance period No change from current regulation; ACOs remain at 50% in second performance period Up to 60%, but may be reduced based on quality performance Up to 75%, but may be reduced based on quality performance Reduced by 10 percent (40%) in second performance period, if ACO remains in Track 1 In addition to our s on Tracks 1, 2, and 3, the ACO Learning Network also proposed the creation of a Track 4 option for ACOs that were willing to assume even greater financial risk than that allowed in Track 3. Unfortunately, CMS did not adopt our proposal, which we feel would have allowed ACOs to gain greater experience with financial risk, including capitated payments, without having to move into a fully capitated Medicare Advantage (MA) model. Our proposed Track 4 would have included a number of the features included in Track 3, but with the option of having upwards of 50% of the ACO s historical Part A and B spending included in a population-based payment, similar to what has been offered to Pioneer ACOs, as well as the proposed Next Generation ACO model. The model would have also included incentives for ACOs to move to this new financial model, including up to 70% of shared savings; a fixed MSR of 1 percent; a prospective attribution model; a readjusted benchmark that better accounts for regional variation; the option of patient attestation model to help organizations better understand their target population; waivers on FFS requirements, such as SNF 3-day rule, teleheath billing restrictions, and referrals to post-acute care settings; and an improved risk adjustment methodology to better account for patient health status changes over time.

6 Financial and Regulatory Parameters for MSSP Risk Tracks in ACO Learning Network Comments and the blue box indicates LN different from ; red text indicates change from and/or LN on Adjustments for health status and demographic changes ACO Learning Network Comment For All Tracks In conjunction with revised benchmark methodology transition, use CMS- HCC risk adjustment model on an annual basis to account for the risk profile and health status of the patient population. Newly assigned beneficiaries adjusted using CMS-HCC model; continuously assigned beneficiaries adjusted on an annual basis using demographic and health status factors, which can result in both a decreased and increased risk score For All Tracks regulation: Historical benchmark expenditures adjusted based on CMS-HCC model. Updated historical benchmark adjusted relative to the risk profile of the assigned beneficiary population for the. Performance year: newly assigned beneficiaries adjusted using CMS-HCC model; continuously assigned beneficiaries adjusted using demographic factors (not heath status) unless CMS-HCC risk scores result in a lower risk score. Waivers for Existing FFS Payment Requirements ACO Learning Network Comment for Tracks 2,3 Allow the use of waivers (SNF 3-day Rule, Billing and Payment for Telehealth Services, Homebound Requirement, and Referrals to Post-Acute Care Settings), with greater flexibility from traditional FFS restrictions for ACOs bearing more risk Consider use of waivers for co-pays of beneficiaries of the CCM code, and to allow ACOs to cover additional costs that deemed necessary for chronic care management for Tracks 2,3 Similar to proposed rule, not ACO LN ; applies only to Track 3 As early as 2017 begin to phase-in a waiver of certain billing and payment requirements for telehealth services after it is tested in the Innovation Center Beginning in 2017, ACOs may elect to apply for a waiver of the SNF 3-Day Rule Quality Measures ACO Learning Network Comment For All Tracks Continue to shift toward more outcome oriented quality measures, particularly those that are patient reported Require more sophisticated quality measures for larger ACOs and those taking on higher risk Consider providing payment bonuses for reporting on more advanced measures and for better performance on quality measures, as in the Medicare Advantage program
