MSSP Pre-Participation Waiver: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General have provided certain waivers of federal fraud and abuse laws in connection with the operation of accountable care organizations under the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”).
The Board of Managers of MHC Accountable Care Organization, LLC (“MHC ACO”) has duly authorized the arrangement described below and made a bona fide determination that this arrangement is reasonably related to the purposes of the MSSP because the arrangement will promote accountability for the quality, cost and overall care for Medicare beneficiaries assigned to ACO and/or encourages investment in infrastructure and redesigned care processes for high quality and efficient service delivery for patients, including Medicare beneficiaries. By undertaking this arrangement, MHC ACO and its Participants have acted with the good faith intent to apply for participation in the MSSP starting in Performance Year (calendar year) 2018.
Initial Organizational Investments: Cabell Huntington Hospital, Inc., as one of three Participants and Members of MHC ACO, has allocated staff time and incurred consulting and website development fees relating to MHC ACO’s formation, preparation and submission of the MSSP application and initial operations since April 1, 2017 (the “Initial Organizational Investments”) and these Initial Organizational Investment costs have been incurred consistent with the purposes of the MSSP as they were necessary to form the legal entity, comply with regulatory requirements, complete the MSSP application, and engage providers in anticipation of MSSP participation.
MHC ACO will publicly disclose additional arrangements that qualify for MSSP waivers as they are authorized by its governing board on this website, in compliance with CMS’s public disclosure requirements.
