Accountable care organizations, or ACOs, are physician- and health system-led groups that ascertain and apply savings in healthcare delivery. These organizations often work in partnership with Medicare programs, while also providing care for private insurance patients.
Each year, ACOs save patients and health systems alike millions of dollars. Ultimately, their goal is to provide excellent patient care at a lower cost. Many of the listed ACOs are among the first adopters of the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
Note: This list is not exhaustive, nor is it an endorsement of included ACOs. ACOs cannot pay for inclusion on this list. ACOs are presented in alphabetical order. We extend a special thank you to Rhoda Weiss for her contributions to this list.
