CMS TCPI Practice Transformation Network Goal Prepare both primary care and specialty care practices to succeed in new payment models which go into effect in 2019. This will be accomplished by providing free practice transformation support to participating practices. This support will focus on areas that have been identified by CMS as measures that will be used to establish these payments. SGR TO MACRA Current FFS Starting in 2019, clinicians will be required to transition to one of two systems that determine future payment updates Merit Based Incentive Program (MIPS) Alternative Payment Models (APM) Potential for positive or negative adjustments based on achievement on a composite quality score Potential for lump sum bonus equaling 5% of prior years payments MU Quality Utilization Clinical Improvement 2

Next Steps: The PTN Process 1. Complete Participation Registration 2. Work with your PTN Advisor to identify operational gaps using CMS assessment tool 3. Identify areas of overlap and prioritize needs 4. Measure Key Indicators related to those needs to verify if improvement is needed 5. Perform 90 day small test of change implementing new processes 6. Re-measure and readjust process as needed 7. Participate in Peer Affinity Groups There is no cost associated with this program. A dedicated practice advisor will be assigned to support the transformation activities. Participation is voluntary and practices can withdraw at anytime. Questions 10
