Premier Offers CHART Model Improvement Ideas
Premier submitted comments to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) on the Community Transformation Track of the Community Health Access and Rural Transformation (CHART) Model. The CHART model offers the unique opportunity for providers to transform healthcare in their communities by repurposing rural facilities. However, Premier recommends that CMS take several actions to build on features of the model to ensure rural providers can succeed, including:
- Provide options for Medicaid participation
- Reduce the discounts and, at a minimum, alter how discounts are tied to population threshold
- Clarify how population shifts may impact the capitated payment
- Provide options for incorporating providers across the continuum
- Engage with participants early to develop end of model transitions
