The Southern New England Practice Transformation Network (SNE-PTN) is one of 29 networks across the country selected and funded by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to prepare clinicians to participate in alternative payment models in the future. SNE-PTN is led by UMass Medical School and University of Connecticut School of Medicine.
The SNE-PTN is part of CMS’ Transforming Clinical Practices Initiative, which is one of the largest federal investments designed to support clinician practices through this process of practice transformation. It is offering support to primary care, specialist and behavioral health clinicians to benefit the health of patients by improving the quality and financial health of the practice. Eligible clinicians are professionals who bill Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP. Clinicians who receive federal funding through a Medicare ACO are excluded from participation.
A fact sheet (see below) outlines the essentials about SNE-PTN, including contact information on how providers can participate.
