The PFS 2027 Proposed Rule proposes to apply flat benchmarks retroactively to 3 CY2026 Medicare Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs). That means the quality performance you've been tracking all year may no longer reflect how CMS will evaluate your Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACO.
Join us Thursday, Sept. 10, at 1 p.m. ET for our webinar:
The flat benchmark reset: Potential changes coming to your MSSP ACO
This session is designed for ACO executives, quality leaders, and population health teams who need to understand how these proposed changes could impact current performance, future reporting strategies, and Medicare reimbursement.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of what the Proposed Rule means for your organization, the reporting decisions you'll need to make, and the actions to consider before the Sept. 14 CMS comment deadline.
During this webinar, we'll cover:
- Retroactive flat benchmarks: Which 3 CY2026 Medicare CQMs are affected and what the changes mean for your current quality performance
- Flat benchmarks going forward: How moving from peer-based comparisons to fixed benchmarks changes future performance expectations
- APP Plus changes: Why the measure set shrinks from 10 measures to 8 and why every remaining measure becomes more important
- Choosing the right collection type: A practical framework for evaluating electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs), Medicare CQM, MIPS CQM, and the new Medicare eCQM collection type
- Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) and MSSP overlap: What happens when cardiologists and orthopedic surgeons participate in both programs, and how dual reporting may affect your organization
- TIN/NPI-level QP determinations: How proposed changes to Qualifying APM Participant (QP) determinations could affect provider eligibility
