Accountable Care Organizations – potential roles for Plans that serve the Medicare population
March 11 – 16, 2010
Accountable Care Organizations are increasingly dominating policy maker agendas and continue to gain traction in both the marketplace and the national health system reform debate. These new approaches to delivering health care services hold the promise of improving quality and holding providers accountable for outcomes. In turn, many providers are jumping at the opportunity to demonstrate superior results and have greater control over spending the health care dollar.
Plans and policy makers alike are seeking new approaches to address medical expense trends and boost system quality. Plans, Federal and State governments alike are encouraging the development of multiple pilot programs and are hoping this healthcare delivery integration model will address variations in spending nationwide.
This two-part webinar series examines the latest developments in ACOs and provides the insight health plan executives need to better understand the role of organizations that serve the Medicare population in the rapid development of ACOs.
The first 90-minute session will define an ACO and provide examples of differing models.
- Key items to consider in regard to your overall strategy
- What IS an ACO? What ISN’T an ACO?
- How these entities could look different from one another
- The three essential components: primary care physicians, specialists and hospitals
- The MA industry experience to date with these entities
- What makes this trend different?
The second 90-minute session delves deeper into the issues surrounding ACOs and examines the potential challenges for any MA plan considering the launch of one:
- How do you launch it?
- What should you consider when pricing it?
- Considerations about payment models for providers
- How to make sure it will succeed
- What population segments should you target?
- How the reform legislation plays into the choice to conduct a demonstration
