Bottom Line on Final Rule Uncertainty finally lifted for Medicare Shared Savings Program Agreement period extended from three to five years and shared savings rate increased significantly to 40% for BASIC levels A - B CMS follows through on commitment to push risk Elimination of Tracks 1, 1+, 2, and 3 and replaced with BASIC and ENHANCED options BASIC option begins with one-sided risk but requires participants to take on increasing levels of risk over the agreement period Lower revenue (physician, rural, and smaller hospital-affiliated) given extra time in non risk Continued expansion of non-financial benefits of risk participation Several significant but small changes to benchmark calculations finalized Risk score growth up to 3% over the agreement period will be recognized in updated benchmarks
Key Changes from the Proposed Rule Improved opportunity to share in savings for BASIC option ACOs Improved opportunity to share in savings for BASIC option ACOs New “low revenue” (physician-led) ACOs may defer risk for one additional year Threshold for “low revenue” increased to ACOs with 35% or less of their attributed beneficiaries’ fee-for-service expenditures New beneficiary notifications may be provided via email or online patient portal

Historically 100% • As of 1/10/2019 pending • release of CMS guidance • documents
Consider MIPS-APM Participation Also Simplifies MIPS Reporting • MIPS • All eligible providers report all categories except Promoting Interoperability (which exempts hospital-based physicians) • Cost is claims-based and does not require reporting • MIPS-APM • All TINs report Promoting Interoperability except TINs that only include hospital-based physicians • Only PCPs (and specialists that act like PCPs) report quality on a subset of patients attributed to ACO for primary care • Promoting Interoperability • PCPs • Specialists • Quality • PCPs • Specialists • Hospital-Based EPs • Promoting Interoperability • PCPs • Specialists • Quality • PCPs • Improvement Activities • PCPs • Specialists • Hospital-Based • EPs • Cost(Claims only) • PCPs • Specialists • Hospital-Based • EPs Qualified Advanced APMs Report Nothing!
