The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is partnering with CVS Accountable Care to create an accountable care organization (ACO) to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries by Ohio State providers in central Ohio through an emphasis on preventive wellness and proactive treatment of chronic conditions.
CVS Accountable Care, part of CVS Health, is a value-based risk enablement and management partner that was formed in 2023 as a result of bringing together Signify Health Value-based Care Solutions with the CVS Accountable Care Organization. The company enables more than 200 health systems and n60,000 clinicians in value-based care contracts across the nation, caring for over 1 million Medicare patients.
The new CVS ACO, a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Enhanced track ACO, expands the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center’s previous ACO work. The CVS ACO will combine resources from both organizations to provide more patients with care coordination and longitudinal care management to address both medical and social needs.
