CMS Names 106 New Medicare ACOs

With the addition of the 106 new organizations, as many as 4 million Medicare beneficiaries will be covered by a CMS ACO. According to CMS, the savings achieved by its ACOs could be up to $940 million in four years.

The new group of ACOs includes 15 Advance Payment Model ACOs, which are physician-based or rural organizations that will benefit from greater access to capital.
