Seven accountable care organizations have left Next Generation, Medicare’s highest-risk program that qualifies as an advanced alternative payment model under MACRA.
In January, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced 58 ACOs had joined Next Gen for 2018, an increase from the estimated 28 that took part during the first year in 2016 and up from 45 participants in 2017.
The 58 included 14 new and 44 returning organizations. Of those, 51 remain.
