The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovations (CMMI) are holding regional and phone-in listening sessions this week on new payment models, including accountable care organizations under Medicare’s Shared Savings Program and other initiatives of the CMMI.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovations (CMMI) are holding regional listening sessions this week covering topics on new payment models, including accountable care organizations (ACOs) under Medicare’s Shared Savings Program and other initiatives of the CMMI. Listening sessions on Tuesday (December 14, 2010) and Thursday (December 16, 2010) may be attended via call-in numbers (see below). Friday’s session in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas may only be attended in person with advanced registration.

Regional Listening Sessions

CMS has organized this week’s regional listening sessions in order to solicit public comments on new initiatives to improve the health care delivery and payment system, including ACOs under the Shared Savings Program. (See Workshop Examines Effects of Waiver Authority on Development of ACOs for a summary discussion on a prior CMS listening session regarding ACO’s obtaining waivers under the Shared Savings Program.)

Each listening session will spotlight the same three areas:

• Shared Savings Program for ACOs

• The CMMI

• Federal Coordinated Health Care Office (FCHCO)
