Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are fairly split on whether or not to exit the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) under new rules that require downside financial risk adoption sooner, a new survey shows.
Forty-seven percent of the ACOs surveyed by Leavitt Partners in collaboration with the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) said they were not at all or slightly likely to drop out of the MSSP, while 18 percent were moderately likely and 35 percent were very or extremely likely to exit.
“ACOs are at different places in their journey to value-based care, but they tend to follow a similar sequence of care delivery transformation initiatives as they develop,” David Muhlestein, Chief Research Officer for Leavitt Partners, stated in a press release. “Policymakers need to ensure that sufficient financial incentives are in place for all types of ACOs to progress in their pathways to success.”
