July 17 webinar with federal CMS on New ACO PC Flex Model

On July 17, the American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Physicians and American Medical Association will host a live webinar with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (federal CMS) Innovation Center staff for primary care physicians interested in participating in the new Accountable Care Organization Primary Care Flex Model (“ACO PC Flex”).

ACO PC Flex is a voluntary five-year model that will provide more predictable payments by testing primary care capitation within the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). ACOs that applied to the Shared Savings Program as either new or renewing ACOs must submit a supplemental ACO PC Flex application questionnaire by Aug. 1, 2024. All participating primary care practice TINs with an ACO must participate.

During the webinar, ACO PC Flex Model leadership will:

• Overview key elements of the model and request for applications;
• Address frequently asked questions on common themes; and
• Participate in a live Q&A.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, July 17 from 5-7 p.m. MT.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage directly with federal CMS staff. Register here.

For more information on the model, visit the request for applications or the CMS ACO PC FLEX Model webpage.
