Three of the national associations most fully involved in helping their member provider organizations move forward into accountable care organization (ACO) development and value-based contracting released a joint statement on Tuesday asking federal healthcare officials to make the Next Generation ACO model a permanent part of the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
