ACO Final Rule: Applications open Jan. 1, 2012
Two initial launch dates: April 1, 2012 &July 1, 2012
CMS anticipates 270 ACOs to form
Medicare Shared-Savings ACO
Heart of the ACO Final Rule issued Oct. 20, 2011
Minimum 5,000 Medicare PFS Beneficiaries
Two ModelsOne-Sided, No Risk = 50% sharing in savings created
Two-Sided, Limited Risk = 60% sharing in savings created
One-Sided-Physicians paid FFS, as usual-If savings is created AND performance measures achieved, 50/50 split-If ACO exceeds per capita benchmark, no downside
Two-Sided-Physicians paid FFS, as usual-If savings is created AND performance measures achieved, 60/40 split-If ACO exceeds per capita benchmark, fee adjustment occurs (capped)
Advanced Payment ACO
Created to help MD-owned and/or Rural Providers
Limited to Two Organizational Types 1. ACOs with no inpatient and annual revenue of < $50 million2. ACOs with inpatient through CAHs/Rural hospitals and revenue of < $80 million
Three Payment Types1. Upfront Fixed Payment2. Upfront Payment based on historically-assigned beneficiaries3. Monthly Payment based on historically-assigned beneficiaries
ACO application must be made for both Shared-Savings and Advanced Payment
No health plan ownership allowed
Pioneer ACO
Created for Advanced Health Organizations
Minimum 15,000 aligned beneficiaries
Not subject to the ACO Final Rule – Separated Model
Intent of the Model-Allow advanced systems to move quickly to population-based payment model
-Work in coordinating model with private payers to align quality and outcome incentives
Pioneers would have a higher share in savings created
Pioneers also have a higher share in risk
Pioneers have broadened control over community-based rewards and consequences
