The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ( CMS ) has set forth key dates in the 2014 Medicare Shared Savings Program ( MSSP ) application process. While the 2014 application deadline is July 31, other target dates that also must be met are quickly approaching.
An accountable care organization intending to submit an application must file a Notice of Intent by May 31 and obtain a CMS User ID by June 10. Failure to meet these deadlines will disqualify an organization from MSSP participation in 2014.
Providers interested in participation now need to accelerate their planning efforts. To help organize your efforts, please refer to PYA s MSSP ACO Development Task List; visit the PYA Healthcare Blog, Bridging Business & Healthcare; read the recently updated PYA whitepaper, Medicare ACO Road Map, and view more information from CMS.
To discuss the impact of this change on your organization and how PYA can help you complete these tasks and submit your MSSP application, please contact the experts listed below at (800) 270-9629.
