For practices seeking to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) beginning Jan. 1, 2020, the Notice for Intent to Apply (NOIA) will become available on June 11 and must be submitted by June 28 at 12 p.m. ET. Practices must submit a NOIA if they intend to apply to the BASIC or ENHANCED track of the MSSP, apply for a Skilled Nursing Facility 3-Day Rule Waiver, and/or establish and operate a Beneficiary Incentive Program. 

While a NOIA submission is not binding, it is required to submit a formal application, which will be available for submission from July 1-29. For more information on the application process, please visit the MSSP website. For resources and guidance on Accountable Care Organizations and the MSSP, visit MGMA.com/ACO.
