HHS names Pioneer ACOs
HHS on Monday announced the 32 organizations the agency selected from among 80 applicants to participate in the Pioneer accountable care organization model. Overseen by the CMS Innovation Center, the Pioneer ACO model will test the effects of several payment arrangements to support these groups in providing better care and outcomes at a lower cost, according to HHS, which estimated the project could save up to $1.1 billion over five years- Moncler Outlet .
In its list of chosen organizations (DOC), HHS noted that the groups were selected for their “significant experience” in offering coordinated, patient-centered care and operating in ACO-like arrangements. The groups participated in an open, competitive process in which HHS received 160 letters of intent and 80 applications- Moncler sale .
Part of the selection was based on providers agreeing to ensure that up to half of their income will come from similar private-payer models. Future changes to the Pioneer model are likely, Gilfillan said, as HHS officials tweak the program to improve it.
