Overview:
CMS is making several important changes and clarifications to the group practice rules.
Notably, CMS discussed whether Stark group practice physicians could
receive productivity bonuses based on the services of the physician’s
“care team.” To date, this commentary provides the most direct support
for innovative team-based compensation methodologies within Stark group
practices.
Why you should Attend:
Since January, hospitals, health systems and medical groups nationwide
have focused on updating their physician contracting, compensation and
compliance programs to align with the new regulations.
However, private and system-affiliated group practices should begin to
evaluate a second set of changes now so they can ensure compliance by
the January 1, 2022 effective date.
