Many providers are concerned about rising thresholds in Medicare ACOs, which could lead them to reconsider participation in value-based models, according to a new survey.
The National Association of Accountable Care Organizations (NAACOs) surveyed 116 ACOs across a number of programs, and found that 90% were concerned they would be unable to reach qualifying thresholds in 2021, which must be met to receive bonuses under the program.
The survey shows that 96% of the responding ACOs would not meet the 2021 targets based on their 2020 performance.
The bonus payments are a critical incentives that allow participants to continue investing in the ACO, NAACOs said.
