Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 179 / Friday, September 16, 2005 / Notices
not specifying particular models of
health care systems that demonstration
applicants must propose and test, but
are looking to applicants to specify the
models they believe they can
successfully put into practice for the
patients they serve in their
communities.
As provided by applicable Federal
statute, physician groups, integrated
delivery systems, and organizations
representing regional coalitions of
physician groups or integrated delivery
systems are eligible to apply. Integrated
delivery systems must include a full
range of health care providers including
hospitals, clinics, home health agencies,
ambulatory surgery centers, skilled
nursing facilities, rehabilitation
facilities and clinics, and employed,
independent or contracted physicians.
Eligible organizations and coalitions
may form a new corporate entity for the
purpose of representing provider
organizations or eligible organizations
may designate an existing entity as their
representative. However, the entity
organizing the coalition and developing
the demonstration proposal must be an
eligible provider organization.
Payments under the MHCQ
demonstration will be made for services
furnished to Medicare beneficiaries and
will be tied to cost savings, as well as
improvements in process and outcome
measures, increases in efficiencies, and
reductions in costs in the targeted
population compared to a similar group
or sample. Eligible organizations may
propose a variety of payment
methodologies as long as those
methodologies are amenable to an
evaluation methodology based upon
Medicare claims data. In addition, all
proposals must assure budget neutrality
and no duplication of payments for
existing Medicare benefits. We will not
be providing funding for start-up or
other costs.
