*For Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Poor Control (>9%) [Quality ID #001], Hospital-Wide, 30-Day, All-Cause Unplanned Readmission (HWR) Rate for MIPS Eligible Clinician Groups [Measure #479], and Clinician and Clinician Group Risk-standardized Hospital Admission Rates for Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) [Measure #484], a lower performance rate indicates better measure performance.

*For Clinician and Clinician Group Risk-standardized Hospital Admission Rates for Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) [Measure #484], patients are excluded if they were attributed to Qualifying Alternative Payment Model (APM) Participants (QPs). Most providers participating in Track E and ENHANCED track ACOs are QPs, and so performance rates for Track E and ENHANCED track ACOs may not be representative of the care provided by these ACOs' providers overall. Additionally, many of these ACOs do not have a performance rate calculated due to not meeting the minimum of 18 beneficiaries attributed to non-QP providers.

    • Our ACO uses the SNF 3-Day Rule Waiver, pursuant to 42 CFR § 425.612.
  • Fraud and Abuse Waivers:
