Accountable care organizations (ACOs) taking on the greatest financial risk in Medicare through the Next Generation ACO Model saved the public payer over $558 million in 2019, according to partial data from CMS.
CMS released the data yesterday on 37 of the 41 Next Generation ACOs participating in 2019. The data excluded savings and quality data from four ACOs that deferred financial settlement for last year’s performance period.
CMS plans to release full 2019 performance results for all 41 Next Generation ACOs in the spring of 2021 after financial settlement is complete.
