- ACO’s will not be required to take down-side risk in year 3 but those that do will be able to share more of the savings than those that only agree to share savings
- Beneficiaries won’t be assigned retrospectively; instead they will be assigned quarterly with an end of year reconciliation
- The required quality metrics to be reported are reduced from approx 65 to approx 35
- Savings for those that exceed the threshold will begin with the first dollar of savings
