AMA and NAACOS have urged CMS to expand advanced shared savings payments to more ACOs to increase participation in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
Healthcare groups, including the American Medical Association (AMA), have asked CMS to consider additional updates to the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) before finalizing the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) for calendar year 2023.
The proposals included in the PFS aim to increase provider participation in accountable care organizations (ACOs).
In a letter to CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, the organizations supported the proposed changes but offered several recommendations to improve ACO access and participation.
