Our ACO did not participate in the Shared Savings Program in Performance Year [2024]; therefore, this section is not applicable at this time.
What is an ACO?
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) deliver care through a model that promotes shared goals among value-based healthcare collaborators.
- Often times, ACOs are physician-led and participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) offered through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
- MSSP establishes incentivized, performance-based payment models for qualifying healthcare organizations serving traditional Medicare beneficiaries that promote collaborative and efficient care delivery.
- This care delivery model mitigates fragmented and insufficient access to healthcare while reducing unnecessary costs and improving patient outcomes.

For Patients and Participants
We provide coordinated care for you to get well and stay well.
We aim to provide patient-centered care focused on individual patient needs. Healthcare providers coordinating your care can see the same test results, treatments, and prescriptions—more coordination helps save time, money, and frustration by avoiding repeated tests and appointments.
When you choose a healthcare provider participating in an ACO, they will help you get the right care at the right time. You can visit Medicare.gov and log into (or create) your secure Medicare account to choose a primary care doctor.
