On February 4, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) hosted office hours on the Direct Contracting Model. During the session, the Direct Contracting Model Options team provided a brief review of key aspects of the Direct Contracting financial model that were covered during the Payment Part One Webinar, such as its risk-sharing options and risk mitigation strategies, as well as its capitation and other advanced payment alternatives. This session offered participants an opportunity to ask follow-up questions about these topics.
The Direct Contracting Model is a voluntary payment model with different tracks aimed at testing capitation in traditional Medicare. As part of the Health Policy Breakroom podcast, the team at McDermottPlus provided in-depth analysis of the Direct Contracting model. Additional information can be found on the Direct Contracting Model Options website.
