ACO & MSSP

Over the past week, significant advancements have been made in value-based care strategies, particularly with the launch of innovative Accountable Care Organization (ACO) models. Notably, Bloom Healthcare has introduced an in-home primary care and accountable care model in Missouri, aiming to enhance patient access and engagement. In addition, CMS is exploring automatic enrollment for beneficiaries into ACOs, indicating a shift towards streamlined participation mechanisms which could alter Medicare delivery dynamics and potentially impact care quality and outcomes. These developments underscore a growing emphasis on tailored care approaches in addressing diverse patient needs within Medicare's framework, as seen in the new CMS model focusing on high-risk children.
