Establishes a full risk ACO program under Medicare to improve care and lower costs.
The bill amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to create a full risk ACO program. This program allows groups of health care professionals to manage and coordinate care for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. It includes two tracks: standard and complex care. Standard full risk ACOs serve beneficiaries with fewer chronic conditions, while complex care ACOs focus on those with six or more chronic conditions. The program aims to improve health outcomes and lower costs by offering full financial risk to participating ACOs.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
