Medicare ACOs Generate Net Savings

The Medicare Shared Savings Program generated $739.4 million in total net savings across 548 accountable care organizations in 2018, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Participating ACOs agree to be held accountable for the quality, cost, and experience of care of an assigned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiary population, and can participate at different levels of risk.
