NAACOS is the resource for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) dedicated to its members' success.

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) offer enormous opportunity for patients and providers to work together to achieve enhanced quality of care, reduced costs and improved health outcomes. As a market-based solution, ACOs rely on groups of physicians, hospitals, and other providers voluntarily collaborating to achieve these important goals. As of January 2022, there are 483 Medicare ACOs serving over 11 million beneficiaries. Since 2010, more than 1,200 organizations have held an ACO contract in Medicare, Medicaid or the commercial sector and serving millions of additional patients. The accountable care model has a long history of bipartisan support, starting with the Physician Group Practice Demonstration Program passed under President George W. Bush’s administration in 2000 and further expanded under President Obama’s administration. ACOs are proving to be one of the most promising solutions to bend the cost curve and provide high-quality patient care and are a premier payment model in the shift to value-based care.
