What is an accountable care organization?

Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are groups of local health care providers that collaborate and work together with the goal of making sure that patients get the right care, when and where they need it.

There are different kinds of ACOs. Optum Accountable Care, Arizona is called a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). It works to improve health outcomes, enhance patient experience, and reduce expenses for individuals who have traditional Medicare.

Our Arizona ACO is called "Lifeprint Accountable Care Organization, LLC.", we are doing business as Optum Accountable Care, Arizona. The health care providers who participate in our ACO are voluntarily taking part in this program with the goal of providing better quality care for our Medicare fee-for-service patients. You can learn more about this program by contacting Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227; TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048).
