The Application Toolkit provides quick access to guidance and templates relevant to all application types. Note that this is the 2017 Application Toolkit for the 2018 application cycle. We will update this page for the 2019 application cycle. Application Reference Manual The Application Reference Manual is the primary resource for ACOs applying to the Shared Savings Program, to the Medicare ACO Track 1+ Model (Track 1+ Model), and/or for a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) 3-Day Rule Waiver. This document guides ACOs through the application process for the January 1, 2018, program start date and includes detailed instructions for responding to each application question, managing ACO-specific information in CMS systems, and responding to requests for information (RFIs).
The Application Reference Manual provides access to all guidance and templates referenced below. Application Guidance and Templates In addition to completing the application questions, applicants must also provide supporting documentation as part of the application process.
The guidance and template documents referenced below can be used to help prepare the required supporting documentation. ACO Governing Body Required for initial and renewal applicants An ACO must have a governing body with authority to execute the functions of the ACO. The governing body should include a beneficiary representative. Initial and renewal applicants must submit a completed Governing Body Template, which identifies members of the governing body and their roles. ACO Participant List and Participant Agreement Required for initial and renewal applicants Initial and renewal applicants must submit a list of ACO participant taxpayer identification numbers (TINs), upload a sample ACO Participant Agreement, and upload an executed ACO Participant Agreement for each submitted ACO participant.
Additionally, initial and renewal applicants must also complete and submit the ACO Participant Agreement Crosswalk to demonstrate that their sample ACO Participant Agreement(s) complies with Shared Savings Program requirements. Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization Agreement Required for initial and renewal applicants Initial applicants must submit Form CMS-588 Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Agreement to CMS that accurately reflects organizational information.
Renewal applicants only need to submit an updated EFT Authorization Agreement if any of the following ACO information has changed: legal business name, address, TIN, financial institution information, authorized/delegated official, or Form contact. Repayment Mechanism Required for ACOs applying to Track 2, Track 3, or the Track 1+ Model ACOs applying to a two-sided risk arrangement (Track 2, Track 3, or the Track 1+ Model) must have the ability to repay all shared losses for which they may be liable. CMS strongly encourages applicants to submit preliminary repayment mechanism documentation with their application by the application deadline. Applicants will receive separate Repayment Mechanism Requests for Information (RM RFIs) during the application process. SNF Affiliate List and SNF Affiliate Agreement Required for ACOs applying to the SNF 3-Day Rule Waiver (for Track 3 and Track 1+ Model ACOs) SNF 3-Day Rule Waiver applicants must submit a list of SNF affiliates, upload a sample SNF Affiliate Agreement, and upload an executed SNF Affiliate Agreement for each submitted SNF affiliate. SNF 3-Day Rule Waiver applicants must also complete and submit the SNF Affiliate Agreement Crosswalk to demonstrate that their sample SNF Affiliate Agreement(s) complies with Shared Savings Program requirements.
Hi i appreciate your support for reviewing my motivation letter this is my first time to apply for scholarship and to be honest i don't know where i can begin but i looked at some of your post of motivation letter and i write the one i post here thank's VIBOT JOINT MASTER SEPTEMBER 2017 Dear Sir or Madam, I am applying to your Master program of 'Computer Vision and Robotics course' with specialization in '3DVisionand Robotics' starting in September 2017. My career ambition is to become a robotics developer researching. In high school I graduated with computer science and electronics as my majors. I am continuing my academic career with the study of 'Electronics technology Computer Science' at industrial University of Helwan.
In June 2007 I graduate with a Bachelor of Electronics technology degree, As my first exposure to computer and electronics I took the course 'Digital signal processing' (DSP) in my studies. I was especially impressed that, despite of the advances in technology, there remains much to learn about ourselves, most especially about the human brain. I want to join the program and focus on Robotics because that allows me to combine both my interests in learning more about applied computer science as well as investigating cognitive processes. Complementing my strong academic performance are my advanced skills in leadership and communication.
In several of the projects during my studies, I was the team leader responsible for building and leading our project team. At the beginning of the program, teams were assigned three key members: programmer, professor assistant mechanical engineer, and a research my colleague. As the team leader, I was responsible for building the project Outer frame, but also distributing project assignments and responsibilities as well as governing interpersonal relationships.
By donating my time as a promotion team member of the university, I learned to understand how emotions, especially enthusiasm, can motivate others. My task was to represent my study program and to convince prospective students of the university's excellence. Through my discussion with these eager students. Furthermore, I helped people to overcome their insecurities by exchanging experiences and sharing my first impressions. Throughout my service, I successfully helped many students understand the benefits of my study program by giving presentations and one-on-one interviews. I always wanted to learn more about the 3D vision and robotics of cognition.
Moreover, this internship is an excellent preparation for your program and an important milestone in my young career. I want to study at three different universities because of your outstanding educational system, focus on gathering relevant work experience, and your excellent facilities. I am confident of my decision.
With many distinguished scientists as professors, I know that I will gain expert knowledge at the forefront of discovery. Further supporting professors' lectures are your university's use of advanced equipment and cooperation Moreover, by combining my theoretical and specialized education with hands-on research in the second year, I will gain critical work experience. All these strong positives allow me to research cutting-edge technologies, such as robotics, and to pursue my dreams and ambitions. Given my past history of commitment to excellence, I am confident that I will bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm to your program. I am sure to exceed your expectations, because of both my academic and interpersonal skills as well as the experience gained from my internship.
I will enrich the program by enabling fellow students and professors to benefit from my ambitious and open nature. Furthermore, my international background and interdisciplinary education will add more diversity to your program. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your acceptance. Sincerely yours.
