Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health (ACO REACH) Model
Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health (ACO REACH) Model
Allina Health System is participating in a Medicare Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model.
An ACO is a group of doctors, hospitals and health providers working together with Medicare to give better service and care to patients.
The goals of an ACO model are:
- better care for individual patients
- better health for our communities
- affordable care for all
This ACO is only for fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare patients and not Medicare Advantage-based beneficiaries.
