Actuarial firm Milliman has released an accountable care organization "cheat sheet" intended to inform stakeholders about the ins and outs of the Medicare Shared Savings Programs and Pioneer ACOs, according to a CMIO report.
Milliman's cheat sheet highlights some of the differences between the Pioneer ACO model and MSSP.
"The Pioneer program inherently includes more risk but also provides greater rewards (through lower minimum savings rates, higher sharing rates and higher payment limits," write the cheat sheet authors. "The Pioneer program requires 50 percent of the Pioneer ACOs revenues come from participating in 'risk' contracts with payors."
