In August 2018, CMS unveiled its proposed “Pathways to Success” program – an overhaul of the existing Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), which would redesign participation options for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).

It’s anticipated that the proposed program will pass in 2019. That means ACOs will need to prepare to transition from a multi-track reimbursement model to a two-track model, among other changes. Jake Aleckson, director of Optimization Solutions, and Steve Bloom, project director of Strategic Services, have been closely monitoring these proposed changes and how they will impact ACOs.

Jake and Steve discuss the changes ACOs can anticipate from the new MSSP in 2019, providing a breakdown of the consolidated tracks, reimbursement rates, and ways organizations can demonstrate value-based care.
