July 31, 2014 is the deadline to submit your application to be recognized as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and start participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) in 2015. If you are planning to apply, you’ll need to be ready to navigate through complex regulatory guidelines and a rigorous application process. You will also need to make some key decisions about how to establish a separate legal entity and which program “track” (or payment model) makes the most sense for your organization. In this webinar, Cindy Friend, RN, BSN, MSN, MBA/HCA, PCMH CCE, Executive Consultant, will share strategies to successfully navigate through the MSSP application process. Key learning objectives include: - An overview of the process and key requirements - How to assess which “track” makes most sense for your organization - Pros and cons of joining an established ACO or forming your own - Ins and outs of the legal structure and governance for the ACO - How Beacon Partners can help you work through the process and assess your readiness
