Accountable care organizations saved Medicare $4.1 billion in 2020 and nearly $2 billion after taking out shared savings, according to new federal data.

The data, announced Wednesday by the National Association for Accountable Care Organizations (NAACOS), are an improvement over the $2.6 billion in shared savings they generated in 2019 and $1.9 billion after taking out the shared savings.

“Today’s data underscores the need for policymakers to do all they can to grow the ACO model and extend the program’s benefits to more patients,” said NAACOS President and CEO Clif Gaus in a statement. “We currently have the fewest number of Shared Savings Program ACOs since 2017. That trend must be reversed, given continued debate about ways to improve our health system.”
