Mercy’s Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO has saved CMS beneficiaries more than $350 million over the past six years. During the same timeframe, the ACO achieved top quality measures, including management of complex conditions, access to primary, specialty and acute care, and patient satisfaction measures. In the 2023 calendar year, the ACO ranked in the top five in total and net savings for the second year in a row. Only three other ACOs shared this distinction. Mercy’s ACO was also the top performer in savings and number of beneficiaries relative to ACOs serving beneficiaries in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The ACO is overseen by a multi-discipline Mercy ACO board comprising caregivers, a Medicare beneficiary and operational leaders. The program is committed to optimal quality, optimal cost performance and best-in-class patient experience.
