Complimentary Navigant Webinar: ACO Proposed Rule - Case Studies and Implications for Payers & Providers
Description:
The US Dept. of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services unveiled the long-awaited proposed federal rules on Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
Navigant has analyzed the regulations, discussed them with numerous payers and providers across the United States, and will be holding a three part series of one hour, complimentary webinars. The first webinar will take place on April 27th at 12 noon EDT with Geisinger Health System to present a brief overview of the ACO rules and what they mean to payers & providers.
We'll discuss several topics that have not been profiled yet, but are top of mind to many practitioners:
- How are payers & providers responding?
- What are the questions payers & providers have about the rules?
- How should we approach our key physician and/or hospital partners, in light of these preliminary rules?
- How should we approach Medicare, Medicaid and commercial payers?
- Where are the best opportunities?
- Where is there the greatest risk?
- What are other payers/providers doing re: ACOs?
