The Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) report to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine's Hospital at Home Plus (HaH-Plus) Provider-Focused Payment Model (PFPM) recommends the implementation of the HaH-Plus model.

"HaH-Plus would provide a new alternative to hospitalization for eligible Medicare beneficiaries."

The HaH model defines treatment protocols for older adults who meet certain criteria and have specific illnesses that are among the most common causes of hospital admission in Medicare. The model was the recipient of a CMMI Innovation award and is a John A. Hartford Foundation grantee.
