The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced record results for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) in 2024, marking its most successful year since the program’s launch over a decade ago. The initiative generated $6.5 billion in savings, underscoring continued momentum in value-based care and cost-efficient, coordinated healthcare delivery nationwide.
Record Savings and Performance Trends
The MSSP—the largest accountable care organization (ACO) program in Medicare—now covers 10.3 million beneficiaries across nearly 480 ACOs. In 2024, 75% of participating ACOs achieved shared savings, totaling $6.5 billion. Of that, $4.1 billion was distributed as performance-based payments, while $2.4 billion returned to Medicare.
