New Application Process for the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative: Models 2-4

For Skilled Nursing & Home Health: The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced that the application process for Models 2-4 have changed and must be completed online, starting on or before the first week of April, when the online portal will become available. 

Because the online portal is still in development, CMMI is also extending the application deadline for the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiative for these models to Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 5:00pm EDT, which will give organizations more time to complete the application. 

CMMI has also announced a new application request that now asks applicants to select one of the three roles prior to filling out the applications, which will determine the applicant’s participation role. 

Skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies are eligible to participate in Model 2 (Retrospective Acute Care Hospital Stay and Post Acute Care) and Model 3 (Retrospective Post Acute Discharge Services Only).
