Over 700,000 physicians, hospitals and other health care providers will collaborate to coordinate care for 13.2 million Medicare patients through three accountable care models in 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced today. This includes 456 ACOs serving 10.9 million assigned beneficiaries through the Medicare Shared Savings Program; 132 ACOs, including rural health centers and critical access hospitals, serving 2.1 million beneficiaries through the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model targeting underserved communities; and 130 entities serving 249,983 beneficiaries in the Kidney Care Choices Model, focused on coordinating care for Medicare beneficiaries with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. CMS last year announced it aims to have all traditional Medicare beneficiaries aligned in an accountable care relationship with their provider by 2030.
