The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services contracts with technical assistance providers to offer customized assistance for clinicians in small practices, including those in rural locations, Health Professional Shortage Areas, and Medically Underserved Areas to help them participate and succeed in the Quality Payment Program. Through the Small, Underserved, and Rural Support initiative, clinicians included in the Quality Payment Program can receive both program and practice-level support. Assistance is available to practices with 15 or fewer clinicians.
