CMS accepting letters of intent for direct contracting model

CMS is accepting letters of intent to participate in the first performance year of the Medicare direct contracting model.

After a hospital sends in the letter of intent, it can access the application for participation. The applications are due July 6.

Hospitals that employ clinicians, critical access hospitals and rural health clinics are eligible to participate in the direct contracting model, according to the American Hospital Association.

The model, which will start April 2021, will offer two primary care payment options.
