ACO Primary Care Flex Model aims to improve access to high-quality primary care for underserved Medicare populations
Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services , announced a new voluntary model that empowers primary care providers in eligible Accountable Care Organizations to treat people with Medicare using innovative, team-based, person-centered proactive care.
“We continue our work to improve the quality of care for people with Medicare by encouraging more primary care providers to participate in the ACO Primary Care Flex Model,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Incentivizing greater investments in primary care will promote competition among health care providers and enable more people to receive coordinated, highquality preventive care to keep them healthy – regardless of where they live.
“By giving ACOs more flexibility and additional funding and support to deliver high-value primary care, the ACO PC Flex Model can help providers identify and address people’s unmet health-related needs,” said Liz Fowler, CMS Deputy Administrator and Director of the CMS Innovation Center. “This model strengthens incentives for more providers to form ACOs and meet CMS’ goal of increasing the number of people with Medicare who are in an accountable care relationship.”.
