Description

Accountable care organizations (ACOs) were established in Medicare to provide incentives to physicians and other health care providers to better coordinate care for beneficiaries across care settings such as doctorsäó» offices, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities. The Pioneer ACO Model was established when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 created the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to test new models of service delivery in Medicare. CMS rewards ACOs that lower their growth in health care spending while meeting performance standards for quality of care. This report (1) describes the financial and quality results for the first two years of the model; and (2) examines how CMS oversees and evaluates the model. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
