The work group will not set or make policy, nor make formal recommendations to CMS. Participation on the 10-12 member panel is open to candidates with one or more of the following: “deep and broad” knowledge of payment reform; experience designing APMs; experience designing approaches for measuring APM adoption; demonstrated ability to communicate complex health care concepts to the public; and experience working with multiple stakeholders with different perspectives on complex health system issues. Nominations will be accepted online through Friday, June 19.
