Our charge: Identify, Test, Evaluate, Scale
“The purpose of the Center is to test innovative payment and service delivery models to reduce program expenditures under Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP…while preserving or enhancing the quality of care furnished.” Resources: $10 billion funding for FY2011 through 2019
Opportunity to “scale up”: The HHS Secretary has the authority to expand successful models to the national levelMore flexibility: Budget neutrality requirements more flexible

Claims Payment ProcessClaims Payment Process Practices do not have to submit claims for
demonstration payments but payments will be processed like a claim
On a monthly basis, CMS’ contractor (Actuarial Research Corporation) will create a claim record for each beneficiary on your list and submit it to the “MAC” or carrier for payment.◦ “Date of service” will be 1st of the month◦ Payment will likely be received mid-month◦ Practice payment ($2.00) is processed under one rendering
NPI to facilitate payment Individual monthly claims will be processed for each
beneficiary in the same manner as any other electronic claim.◦ Due to claims volume, claims may be spread out over course
of the month. Remittance advice will be sent to the practice Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) will NOT show
demonstration claimsMAPCP Demonstration - March 2012 13
