Preparing for CMS' Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM)

Thurs, Jan. 29, 1 p.m. ET

CMS’ 2026 Final Rule marks a pivotal turning point for clinicians and healthcare organizations engaged in quality reporting. As traditional MIPS gives way to MVPs—and ultimately to the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM), CMS is driving toward a more unified, outcomes-based, and digitally enabled ecosystem.

Join Healthmonix CEO Lauren Patrick and Subject Matter Expert Phillip Spence for a practical breakdown of ASM, how it works, how performance is calculated, and what to do next.

Key topics

•  Breaking down ASM: Structure, requirements and how the model actually works
• How CMS calculates performance: Performance methodology, benchmarks and scoring
• ASM in practice: Translating policy into care-coordination workflows
• Risk & financial impact: Shared savings, payment adjustments, and exposure
• Quality & reporting readiness: What data you’ll need and when you'll need it
• Preparation timeline: Milestones, actions and readiness checklist
