On December 21st, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a rule that redesigns participation options for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) under a new model referred to as “Pathways to Success.” The final rule will discontinue or replace all MSSP Tracks (1, 1+, 2, and 3) and implement two new tracks, BASIC and ENHANCED, beginning in 2019.
Entities interested in applying for the earliest start date of July 1, 2019 must submit a non-binding Notice of Intent to Apply (NOIA) between January 2, 2019 and January 18, 2019.
The final rule is available here and application information, including NOIA guidance, is available here. Our summary can be found here.
