Medicare is experimenting with alternatives to the straight fee for service and shared savings model by using three different approaches to capitation. As the pioneer ACOs gain experience with the various capitation models and if CMS incorporates capitation in the standard model, Medicare ACOs will gain a powerful tool to influence patterns of care through payment contracts and incentives.
In partnership with MCOL, join Gorman Health Group for a discussion on Medicare’s ACO Capitation experiments on February 15 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm Eastern Time.
