What is Accountable Care? What is an Accountable Care Organization (ACO)? An ACO is a provider-based organization that takes responsibility for meeting the healthcare needs of a defined population with the goal of simultaneously improving health, improving patient experiences, and reducing per capita costs.
Unlike HMOs, managed care, or some insurance plans, an ACO can't tell you which health care providers to see and can't change your Medicare benefits. Only people with Original Medicare can be assigned to an ACO. You canât be assigned to an ACO if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C), like an HMO or a PPO. How ACOs share information Medicare will share certain health information with ACOs working with your doctors and other health care providers about the care you get from your doctors and other providers.
