Value-based care

Value-based care models pay clinicians for keeping people healthy rather than the volume of services delivered.
Value-based care basics

ACOs

Accountable Care Organizations are groups of clinicians working together with information and resources, that are rewarded for improving the quality of care at lower costs.
How ACOs work

ACOs bring together value-based care clinicians

Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, help to drive value-based care while providing many benefits and protections for their participants.

Reinventing how primary care is paid

High-performing ACOs supplement the traditional fee-for-service payment structure, helping clinicians go above and beyond - delivering cost savings, care coordination payments and bonuses for high-quality care.

We are committed to value-based care because it allows us not only the resources, but also the support to do what is necessary to make sure that patients are taken care of. There are no care gaps. Our care coordinators, our nurses that do the wellness visits, and the outside agency we work with to provide in-home visits - all of that is because of the value-based care model.

Protecting members from downside risk

ACOs offer timely performance reports and data-driven ACO placement and take on financial risks to protect their members from potential losses.
What is downside risk

Proving value beyond just Medicare

ACOs help their members better manage their patients beyond traditional Medicare, with Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial value-based contracts.
