Accountable Healthcare America

In the very near future, the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services would like any physician who treats Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries to be required to participate in an ACO by 2020. Starting and operating an ACO, due to the coordinated care, quality reporting and financial requirements, makes this proposition prohibitive for physicians. We bring together all these parts, while assuming the risk, so member physicians can easily comply with quality reporting requirements while avoiding financial penalties and, instead, benefiting financially from Medicare bonuses as a result of savings generated. AHA, ACOs, MSOs, and PCPs, all work together cohesively towards one common goal: better healthcare for all. Our ACOs and MSOs are led by CEOs and physician leaders that have formed networks of participating physicians and providers (hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, etc.) to work together to coordinate the care of Medicare beneficiaries with the goals of improving the quality of care, providing better health outcomes and eliminating unnecessary spending. At the heart of each patient’s care is a primary care physician. Under the current Medicare payment system, an ACO is contracted by CMS to coordinate the care of all of the Medicare beneficiaries within the ACO group. Our MSOs are contracted with leading Medicare Advantage Plans to bring together all of the necessary components so that the beneficiaries may benefit from the coordinated and quality care provided by all of the physicians, specialists, and providers who are involved in the beneficiaries’ care. This means efficiency and cost saving.
