On the heels of several years of declining or flat accountable care organization (ACO) growth in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), 2022 only saw a modest increase in participation, with 483 ACOs partaking.
The current numbers do not bode well in terms of meeting the Biden administration’s goal of having every traditional Medicare patient in an accountable care model by 2030. Of note, both levels of ACOs in the program and patients in ACOs remain lower than in 2020. Currently almost 20% of Medicare patients are cared for by ACOs.
