The leaders of the Bethesda, Md.-based Aledade announced on Sept. 20 the results of its network of independent primary care practices in the 2022 year of their participation in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), following the announcement on Aug. 24 of nationwide performance in the program by officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS), which runs the MSSP program, the largest federal program for ACOs (accountable care organizations).
In a press release posted to their website on that date, Aledade’s leaders announced that, “Today, Aledade, the nation’s largest network of independent primary care, announced that, in 2022, practices and health centers in Aledade’s network brought health care spending $572 million below Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) spending targets, returned $177 million to the taxpayer, and are projected to have earned more than $204 million in shared savings payments for their work in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), all while improving the quality of care.”
