Sept. 18, 2024
The Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) met Sept. 16–17 to hear stakeholder perspectives on developing a pathway toward having all Medicare beneficiaries with Medicare Parts A and B in total-cost of care (TCOC) models. Stakeholders also presented issues regarding data, attribution, benchmarking and risk adjustment.
