Partners HealthCare has transitioned to a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), from its previous Medicare ACO, the Next Generation Accountable Care model, without disruption to patient care. The Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) is an alternative payment model that promotes accountability for a patient population, coordinates items and services for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries, and encourages investment in high quality and efficient services.
The MSSP Accountable Care Organization (ACO) allows Partners to extend care to roughly 10,000 additional patients, serving a total of approximately 125,000 Medicare patients; and adds nearly 2,000 additional Partners providers, totaling 9,300 providers supporting the Medicare population.
