Included in the Next Generation ACO Model are strong patient protections to ensure that patients have access to and receive high-quality care.В Like other Medicare ACO initiatives, this Model will be evaluated on its ability to deliver better care for individuals, better health for populations, and lower growth in expenditures. The goal of the Model is to test whether strong financial incentives for ACOs, coupled with tools to support better patient engagement and care management, can improve health outcomes and lower expenditures for Original Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries. It allows these provider groups to assume higher levels of financial risk and reward than are available under the Shared Savings Program (MSSP). The Next Generation ACO Model is an initiative for ACOs that are experienced in coordinating care for populations of patients. When an ACO succeeds in both delivering high-quality care and spending health care dollars more wisely, it shares in the savings it achieves for the Medicare program. Provider participation in ACOs is purely voluntary, and participating patients see no change in their Original Medicare benefits and keep their freedom to see any Medicare provider. Medicare beneficiaries have better control over their health care, and providers have better information about their patientsвЂ™ medical history and better relationships with patientsвЂ™ other providers. ACOs are patient-centered organizations where the patient and providers are true partners in care decisions. Medicare ACOs are comprised of groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers and suppliers who come together voluntarily to provide coordinated, high-quality care at lower costs to their Original Medicare patients.
