MedPAC: 6 issues that need to be resolved if two-sided ACOs are going to be part of the Medicare program in the long term

Submitted By Charlene Ice, Created 06/25/2018 - 11:33
  1. Are hospitals viable participants in ACOs?
  2. Should asymmetric models be continued?
  3. How should benchmarks be set initially and rebased for subsequent agreement periods?
  4. Should the 5 percent bonus for clinicians in advanced alternative payment models (A–APMs) be distributed differently to encourage A–APM participation?
  5. What will be the relationship between specialists and two-sided ACOs?
  6. Are two-sided ACOs a long-term option in the Medicare program?
