NAACOS Urges CMS to Strengthen Support for Accountable Care

The National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) has submitted a letter to CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, MD, advocating for policies that further advance accountable care. The letter emphasizes how accountable care has proven to keep Americans healthy by empowering patients and providers with tools to focus on prevention, manage chronic conditions, expand access to services not traditionally covered by Medicare, and reduce overall cost.

NAACOS calls on CMS to implement targeted reforms that will boost and retain competition in health care through sustainable accountable care models, enhance patient choice, and free providers from regulatory burdens that hamper innovation. The letter reflects the collective voice of the nation’s leading accountable care organizations and underscores the critical role they play in delivering high-quality, cost-effective care to Medicare beneficiaries.
