The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened the application period for two voluntary Direct Contracting Model options: professional and global. Applicants interested in participating in the implementation period must submit applications by Feb. 25; the application tool will be available later this month. In spring 2020, CMS will announce a separate application period for organizations that wish to participate in the first performance year. Organizations that are considering applying must submit a letter of intent by Dec. 10, if they have not already done so.
