Composition of ACO
Corporation formed with sole member as Methodist Hospitals of Dallas d/b/a
Methodist Health System, a Texas non-profit corporation.
On July 1, 2012, Methodist Patient Centered ACO (MPCACO) was selected to
participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program)
Accountable Care Organization (ACO), a multifaceted new program sponsored
by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Over 700
physicians are partnering in the Methodist Patient Centered ACO. See the
ACO Governing Structure.
Through the Shared Savings Program, Methodist Patient Centered ACO is working
with CMS to provide Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries with high quality
service and care, while reducing the growth in Medicare expenditures through
enhanced care coordination.
The Shared Savings Program will reward ACOs that lower their growth in
health care costs while meeting performance standards on quality of care
and putting patients first. The aggregate amount of savings to-date and
distribution of savings is as follows:
