And so they can do that a little quicker.

I I think also, and really just informed, maybe speculation on my part, but just from what I've seen out in the with representing different clients and talking to different stakeholders in the healthcare space, you know, it's it's a little bit easier to lobby CMM.

My four changes in these programs because, first of all, it's easier for them to make changes midstream.

Second of all, I think they're I think sometimes a little bit more receptive to making provider-friendly changes that mean that they will have a critical mass of providers in order to get meaningful data and actually test the program so they can.

determine whether or not it makes sense or is authorized under the statute to actually expand it.

So um uh that to me is one of the maybe the primary difference between the two.

Those are take it or leave it contracts.

You don't send them a a bunch of red lines or if you do, that's kind of shouting into the void, you're not gonna get anything back really.

Yeah, I I think that's right.

And and just you know, for for the attorneys out there listening, I think um uh I'm sure folks that are in the space um are realizing that as if you're representing

providers, hospitals, physician groups, etc.

You're likely encountering these programs not through a direct relationship with CMS, but through a direct relationship with an intermediary entity such as an accountable care organization, which might be operated by a health system, but it may also be private equity-backed

And so you've got an agreement to participate in the program, but you're participating through the ACO or the risk-bearing entity.

Or if you are even in the bundle payment programs, you know, if you're a downstream provider, if you're not really an anchor hospital, but you are involved in the care provided to the Medicare beneficiary during the episode of care.

You're likely engaging through, you know, a sharing arrangement with the provider.

Again, you don't have a direct relationship with CMS, but you've got what looks like a gain sharing arrangement with the provider in order to share hopefully some of the savings that accrue to managing that patient through the episode care.

So there are, you know, if you're attorney in the space.

You're reviewing a number of those types of participation agreements.

You're thinking through issues that span from the fraud and abuse area.

You've got data sharing slash HIPAA issues.
