• What care protocol or guidelines have been established and will I have flexibility to take clinical judgment into account?
• What bonuses are available and what changes will be required to achieve them?
• Will insurers encourage patients to go to my practice?
• What will the insurer do to meet the goals of the ACO or PCMH and what kind of data will be provided?
• How will outlier patients be taken into account?
