Covering an estimated 4 million Medicare beneficiaries, 106 new accountable care organizations have been formed. There are now more than 250 ACOs nationwide and CMS projects $940 million in shared savings to the Medicare program in the next four years. For a complete list of the new ACOs, click here.
The new ACOs include a diverse cross-section of physician practices across the country. Roughly half of all ACOs are physician-led organizations that serve fewer than 10,000 beneficiaries. Approximately 20 percent of ACOs include community health centers, rural health clinics and critical access hospitals that serve low-income and rural communities.
