The Southern region of the United States is the region with the most accountable care organizations in the 2014 class of the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
Earlier this week, CMS named 123 new accountable care organization members of its Medicare Shared Savings Program, the largest MSSP class announced since the program started in 2012. Of the new members, 57 ACOs are either headquartered in a Southern state or the South is their main service area.
The following is a regional breakdown of where the ACO members of the MSSP's 2014 class are headquartered or will serve patients. Note: ACOs are listed in alphabetical order by region. Their service areas are listed after their names. If an ACO's service area spans more than one region, it is listed in the region where it is headquartered. The regions used are the four main regions defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
