Iowa Health Accountable Care (West Des Moines). Iowa Health Accountable Care, which does business as UnityPoint Health Partners, has a record of ACO experience. The Fort Dodge, Iowa-based branch of UnityPoint Health System is home to one of the country’s first ACOs, the Trinity Pioneer ACO, which had the smallest pool of beneficiaries among the ACOs in CMS’ Pioneer program and was one of the most rural. This ACO transitioned in January into the Next Generation program and was recently lauded by HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell as an example for the rest of the nation. UnityPoint Health Partners ACO has also worked with UnitedHealthcare, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the state of Iowa for its Medicaid ACO.
