Twenty-seven ACOs have signed agreements with CMS for a program that started in April. They join 32 “Pioneer Model” ACOs that started in December and six physician group ACOs in a separate demonstration program.
Five of the 27 new ACOs are participating in the Advance Payment ACO Model program, receiving advances on expected savings to aid rural and physician-based ACOs in having the funds to ramp up staffing, information systems and other necessities.
More information including brief descriptions of the 27 new ACOs is available here.
