What is an Accountable Care Organization (ACO)?
ACOs are established to bring together doctors, hospitals, and health care providers to collectively provide higher-quality coordinated care to their patients while helping to slow the growth of healthcare costs. Beneficiaries seeing health care providers in ACOs always have the freedom to choose doctors inside or outside of the ACO. ACOs have the opportunity to receive a portion of the Medicare savings generated from lowering the growth in health care costs as long as they also meet standards for high-quality care.
