According to the Primary Care Collaborative’s (PCC’s) 2024 Evidence Report, “Primary Care: The MVP of MSSP,” primary care-centric accountable care organizations (ACOs) provide better quality health outcomes and generate 2.4 times higher savings, compared to their peers. The 2024 Evidence Report, written in collaboration with Robert Graham Center and Simple Healthcare, considered more than six years of Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) data, between 2017 and 2022.
“This report reinforces research demonstrating that access to primary care in total cost of care models curbs costs and boosts quality of care.” Ann Greiner, president and CEO of PCC and one of the authors of the report, said in a PCC release. “If Congress is serious about improving Medicare, it’s critical they include strengthening primary care at the heart of those efforts.”
