The Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) released preliminary review team reports on the following proposals:
These proposals will be discussed and open for public comment at a PTAC public meeting scheduled for September 7-8, 2017. This will be followed by a vote by PTAC.
PTAC Preliminary Reports
PTAC assigns a preliminary review committee to each proposal. This team of reviewers assesses each proposal based on the ten criteria included in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). The chart below summarizes findings from the recently released preliminary review team reports.
Unlike the first batch of preliminary reports released last spring which included final recommendation from reviewers, these did not. The reports did include summary comments from reviewers that provided some insight into the conclusions reached by reviewers. Excerpts from these summary comments are below.
