Direct Contracting Geographic PBP Model Option Request for Information (RFI) - Extension of Response Deadline through Thursday, May 30, 2019

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center is continuing to seek public input to further refine the design parameters of the Direct Contracting Geographic PBP Model Option. Responses to the RFI will be accepted from April 22, 2019 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, May 30, 2019, and can be submitted electronically to DPC@cms.hhs.gov. We are extending the deadline to allow respondents additional time to prepare and submit responses.

The RFI can be found on the CMS Direct Contracting website at the following link:

Subject to responses from the RFI, the Geographic PBP option would encourage participation from innovative organizations, including health plans, health care technology companies and other entities interested in entering into contractual relationships with providers and suppliers and taking on risk for a Medicare FFS beneficiary population in a defined geographic target region.
