Growth slowed but the number of ACOs still rose by about 16
percent; number of patients served rose 6 percent
Despite well-publicized departures from Medicare’s Pioneer ACO
Program, the number of accountable care organizations (ACOs)
continued to rise in the past year, though at a slower pace than in
2013. Almost 70 percent of the U.S. population now lives in
localities served by accountable care organizations, and 44 percent
live in areas served by two or more.
The figures come from new research by the consulting firm Oliver
Wyman, based on the Department of Health and Human Services’
announcement of the latest class of ACOs approved to participate in
Medicare’s ACO programs. The latest round of approvals in January
brings the total of Medicare ACOs to 426, up from 368 in January
2014 and 134 in 2013. Oliver Wyman has identified an additional 159
ACOs, bringing the estimated total to 585, an increase of 12
percent from the previous year.
Key findings:
- About 5.6 million Medicare
beneficiaries, or about 11 percent of total Medicare beneficiaries,
now receive their healthcare from ACOs participating in Medicare’s
ACO programs.
- These organizations also provide care
to 35 million non-Medicare patients, about 6 percent more than last
year.
- ACOs collectively serve between 49 and
59 million U.S. residents, or between 15 and 17 percent of the
population.
“ The slowdown we’re seeing in the growth of ACOs was almost
inevitable, given the pace of change of the past two years,” says
Niyum Gandhi, a partner in Oliver Wyman’s Health & Life
Sciences practice and one of the firm’s experts on ACOs. “The next
big spurt will be more in effectiveness and sophistication than it
will be in growth in numbers of ACOs." Gandhi also cites that the
changes to the rules that CMS proposed this past winter, especially
the Next Generation ACO model, could give ACOs the boost they need
to compete more aggressively.
