Deadline Extended for Request for Information: Specialty Practitioner Payment Model Opportunities
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are considering policy
options for the development of innovative payment and service delivery models
for specialty practitioner services in the outpatient setting. Due to the high
level of interest from the public and our desire to receive detailed comments
and feedback on the models discussed in the Request for Information, CMS is
extending the deadline for comments through April 10, 2014.
CMS is seeking input from stakeholders on two potential models:
1) A
procedural episode-based payment model
2) A
complex and chronic disease management episode-based payment model
Stakeholders can access the Request for Information and submit comments by
visiting the CMS Innovation Center Specialty
Practitioner Payment Model Opportunities web page. To ensure consideration
of your comments, please submit responses to CMS by 5pm EDT on April 10, 2014.
All questions in the Request for Information are optional. There is no need to
respond to all questions for your submission to be successful. For any additional
questions, please email SpecialtyCareModels@cms.hhs.gov.
