Accountable care organizations (ACOs) in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) generated about $314 million in net Medicare savings in 2017, according to new MSSP performance data from CMS.
In 2017, 472 ACOs in the largest Medicare ACO program treated approximately 9 million Medicare beneficiaries, the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) reported in a new analysis of the performance data.
In total, the organizations were responsible for $95 billion of care, which was one-quarter of all fee-for-service and almost one-half of the entire Medicare Advantage market, Farzad Mostashari, MD, Co-founder and CEO of Aledade and former National Coordinator for Health IT at HHS, reported on his Twitter account.
