At the most recent meeting of the AC Advisory Board, the presentation from the AC staff was much along the lines of what Mark is saying above. Going "all in" to try to get a significant bonus/incentive payment may be very difficult with no promise of success, and therefore is not worth the effort. On the other hand, avoiding a penalty (or getting a small increase) is likely possible with relatively minimal effort.
The latter will not require anything like a year's worth of participation, so we can safely wait a few months to learn and decide how to meet those minimal criteria as the year goes on.
And Jim, I guess you are much more of an optimist about Dr. Price than I am.
