Making Full-Risk Accountable Care Permanent
Accountable care organizations have demonstrated for more than a decade that assuming greater accountability for the cost and quality of care can generate savings for Medicare while improving care for patients.
H.R. 8129, bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) and Brad Schneider (D-IL), would establish a permanent full-risk ACO option within traditional Medicare.
Why This Legislation Matters
Support a Permanent Full-Risk ACO Model
A permanent full-risk ACO model would give providers a stable pathway to take greater accountability for the cost and quality of care while building on more than a decade of progress in Medicare accountable care.
