Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) accountable care organizations (ACOs) have shifted their spending to physician services and away from inpatient and skilled nursing facility care, according to a recent study in the American Journal of Accountable Care.
The analysis of within-ACO changes between the program’s first performance year in 2013 and the most recent complete performance period in 2016 revealed that physician services was the only care setting to experience a spending increase year over year.
