Over the last year, our team at Cota has worked closely with providers and CMS—preparing for the eventual move to value-based payment under MACRA by studying the complexities of the law and building an OCM-specific technology solution on top of our CNA Guided Care™ platform. To address the obvious policy question up front: While the new administration has already planned or implemented sweeping changes across other areas, all indications (including these comments from former CMS head Andy Slavitt) point to Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and value-based payments sticking around for the long haul. In this post, we want to share what we’ve learned so far and officially announce Cota’s new technology solution specifically designed to help providers address the challenges and opportunities during this exciting time in the move value-based healthcare.
