    How might expanding patient assignment to include physician assistants and nurse practitioners change care coordination for Medicare beneficiaries currently attributed to ACOs?

  2. 02

    What evidence suggests that broadening attribution criteria to mid-level practitioners will improve outcomes or reduce costs compared to the current physician-only assignment model?

  3. 03
