Accountable Care Organizations
If you are tired of incomplete treatment and high medical bills then you should have to try ACO because it is a network of doctors, hospitals and other healthcare practitioners working together in a coordinated manner, with fiscal responsibility of treating patients. Primary care professionals, especially ACOs, help to deliver healthcare that entails value-based care and not volume-based payment. Come with me to know what is the eligibility for ACO participation, why form an ACO, and why choose Med Bill Ultra as a partner in ACO.
Eligibility Requirement
To take part in the Medicare shared savings program, an ACO must specific criteria, including:
- It involves the formation of a leadership and management framework.
- The formal legal structure that was required to receive and spend payments.
- Policy of an organization having at least 5,000 assigned beneficiaries.
- Establishing procedures for the reporting of the quality and cost measures.
Why Form an ACO?
Practices that may include the above clinician types may have their payments modified under MIPS. Eligibility is determined annually based on the following clinicians are subject to MIPS eligibility determinations:
Physicians
Nurse Practitioners
Physician Assistants
Clinical Nurse Specialists
CRNAs
Timely Follow-ups
Payment Posting
Accurate Coding
Why Form an ACO?
Forming or joining an ACO offers the providers many advantages, such as:
There are several participation pathway options under MIPS:
- Increased incentives that encourage cooperation among the players.
- Patient characteristics to gain insights into the patient’s demographics and needs.
- Tools to facilitate effective and efficient transitions of care, patient involvement and optimization of results
- Opportunity to split the cost savings that are achieved through integrated and effective patient management.
Administrative Savings with ACOs
ACOs facilitate the connection of disjointed parts of the system and lower administrative costs on components such as care coordination and reporting. For instance, an ACO may implement a population health management system through which patient information from different care settings is integrated. This data sharing minimizes the repetition of testing and enables the providers to offer the appropriate interventions. ACOs also accept responsibility for patient outcomes and costs, thus reducing the amount of paperwork for member providers. These benefits imply that healthcare organizations are able to direct more of their resources toward patient care.

Categories of ACO Reporting
Evaluation of performance across the following domains demonstrates an ACOs ability to provide integrated patient care.
- Measures the experience of a patient and cart giver from surveys.
- Domain covers transitions and readmissions as well as patient safety.
- Examines the extent of preventive care and screening.
- Treats chronic illness, depression, and substance use.
The APM Performance Pathway
Clinicians who become eligible for MIPS can participate in an advanced APM such as the shared saving program and report the APM Performance Pathway (APP). This enables providers to meet both the ACO and MIPS reporting needs through a single submission process to avoid reduction work. APP scoring also assigns positive credit for APM participants when calculating MIPS final scores. Med Bil Ultra can guide the participants of ACO on the advantages of the APP and help in the submission process as well. The APP offers a good chance for ACO providers to do well in MIPS without the burden of reporting.
Advantages of Coordinated Care Delivery
As the patient navigates from one setting to another in the care process and across different specialties, the ACO model allows various groups of cross-setting and cross-specialty providers to form an interrelated network of care. This integration supports essential critical care coordination tasks, such as chronic disease management, medication reconciliation from one care setting to another, and transitions.
