Delivers timely news and business strategies on accountable care organizations for physicians and provider groups, hospitals, health plans and their advisers. The monthly newsletter covers the latest industry actions to design and create ACOs, results that are already being achieved by ACO-like entities, and HHS regulations and guidance on this provocative new trend in health care.

Timely News and Business Strategies on Accountable Care Organizations
While lots of hurdles remain, accountable care organizations have tremendous potential to drive radical near-term change in health care delivery and reimbursement. ACO Business News is a hard-hitting monthly newsletter on the latest industry actions and HHS news for hospitals, physicians, health plans and their advisers.
The basic idea is simple: groups of physicians, hospitals, practitioners and plans will manage care for large populations under global budgets, and share in the savings that result from better outcomes that will cost less. Private-sector ACOs already are struggling to navigate the many business decisions needed in setting up these entities. And the HHS regulations governing Medicare ACOs create new challenges for Medicare providers.
When you read ACO Business News, you’ll get answers to questions like:
- How should different providers be reimbursed in private-sector ACOs? Global capitation? Hybrid fee-for-service? Under what circumstances?
- What will CMS do to make the Shared Savings program more palatable to provider groups?
- To what extent will the Pioneer program and other initiatives from CMS’s Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) lure participation from private payers?
- How will ACOs deal with patients who opt out of sharing medical claims data?
- What reporting and measurement tools will be used to manage and assess performance?
- Where are the minefields to avoid in the FTC/DOJ enforcement scheme to regulate ACOs?
