Agenda
About PTAC
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) created the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC). PTAC reviews proposals for physician-focused payment models (PFPMs) submitted by individuals and stakeholder entities and makes comments and recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the extent to which such proposals meet ten criteria established by the Secretary. PTAC typically holds quarterly meetings to deliberate and vote on PFPM proposals. These meetings are publicized in the Federal Register and open to the public. MACRA requires HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) to provide operational and technical support to PTAC. More information can be found on the ASPE PTAC website.
