On January 1, 2027, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will launch the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM)—a mandatory payment model that fundamentally redefines how cardiology practices manage heart failure (HF).
Unlike previous voluntary value-based programs, ASM is not optional. General cardiology practices in selected regions will be automatically enrolled based on historical patient volume. Under ASM, CMS is shifting accountability from episodic, office visit-driven encounters to continuous, longitudinal patient management. This means financial and clinical success depends on what happens between clinical visits.
Join leading cardiovascular executives, clinical directors, and value-based care experts for a practical roadmap on navigating the next 12 to 18 months. This panel discussion will move beyond policy theory to deliver operational frameworks for everything from managing HF between visits to building the remote patient monitoring (RPM) infrastructure required for long-term success in the ASM era.
What you’ll learn:
- The realities of ASM: What changes on January 1, 2027, and why a mandatory model requires a different strategic approach than prior voluntary payment programs
- Optimizing between-visit care: How to transition HF programs from reactive scheduling to proactive, continuous tracking to meet CMS quality and cost metrics
- A roadmap for RPM and operational readiness: Strategic steps to align EHR integration, care coordination, and staffing to turn remote monitoring into a scalable care delivery model, anticipating potential future CMS restrictions on outsourced models
- Securing long-term performance visibility: The operational signals and metrics leaders must track to evaluate program performance and enable course-correction
