ACO & MSSP

The only directly relevant ACO/MSSP item in the last 24 hours is Wellvana’s announcement of CARE Award winners at its 2026 Accountable Care Symposium, signaling continued private-sector emphasis on physician enablement, care coordination, and performance management in accountable care organizations (Wellvana announcement). No new CMS, CMMI, or MSSP policy action surfaced in these sources, so near-term implications for ACO leaders are operational rather than regulatory: benchmarking peers, retaining high-performing physician partners, and demonstrating measurable outcomes as the Trump administration’s CMS leadership continues to shape the next phase of Medicare value-based care.
