As the research partner of the NAACOS, we bring objective science to inform public policy on accountable care. 

We have conducted numerous analyses of policies affecting Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACOs, including:

Impact of changes to MSSP benchmark policy (e.g., administrative trend factors, MSSP savings addbacks, and regional adjustments)

• Impact of the Covid pandemic on regional spending trends
• Quality of care provided to Medicare ACO vs FFS beneficiaries
• Overall savings of the MSSP model
