The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Medicare Shared Savings Program (ACO) application and will begin accepting applications on December 1, 2011. CMS also posted fact sheets for rural providers and on the ACO AdvancePayment model.
Providers and facilities interested in learning more about ACOs have two opportunities this week, a National Provider Call on November 15 and a meeting with CMS on November 16.
