ACO Public Report

An ACO agrees to be held accountable for the quality, cost, and experience of care of an assigned Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiary population. Transparency is an important aspect of patient centeredness and patient engagement in the Shared Savings Program. 

Public reporting aids transparency by promoting more informed patient choice and providing feedback to stakeholders and providers. The report includes information on shared savings and losses, payment rule waivers, and quality performance results.
