Shared Savings Program

 

 

The Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program) promotes
accountability for a patient population, improves the coordination of items and
services for Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries, and encourages
investment in high-quality and efficient services. 

The Shared Savings Program offers providers and suppliers an opportunity to
create or join an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). ACOs are groups of
doctors, hospitals, and other health care professionals that work together to
give patients high-quality, coordinated service and health care, improve health
outcomes, and manage costs. ACOs agree to be held accountable for the quality,
cost, and experience of care of an assigned Medicare FFS beneficiary population.
 

Under the Shared Savings Program, providers and suppliers that participate in an
ACO continue to receive traditional Medicare FFS payments under Parts A and B.
When an ACO succeeds in both delivering high-quality care and spending health
care dollars more wisely, the ACO may be eligible to share in the savings it
achieves for the Medicare program, or some instances may owe losses if it
increases cost. The Shared Savings Program has different participation options
(tracks) that allow ACOs to select an arrangement that makes the most sense for
their organization.
