Overview

Webinar: Wednesday, December 15, 2021, at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern

  • Gross savings rate distribution by Track, Benchmark Rates, Risk Scores, Low vs. High revenue, ACO Longevity, and Quality Scores
  • Shifts in ACO participation by risk track over time
  • Distribution of ACOs by membership and participating provider levels
  • Implications of MSSP ACO financial result findings going forward

Milliman Faculty: Brent Jensen, FSA, MAAA, Principal and Consulting Actuary; Matthew Smith, FSA, MAAA Consulting Actuary; and Colleen Norris, FSA, MAAA, Consulting Actuary

In this session, Milliman experts provide relevant, timely and useful information about the state of the MSSP ACO market. Given that MSSPs represent such a large portion of the Medicare FFS landscape, it is worthwhile to look at the available data for how ACOs have performed and evolved over time. We can then use this data to better understand what MSSP features may be associated with financial success. It is just as important to see what factors are not correlated with success or failure in the program.

In order to provide insights on these drivers, Milliman analyzed CY 2020 experience for MSSP ACOs as reported in CMS 2020 Shared Savings Program Public Use Files, as well as 2015-2019 PUFs, to identify and examine key MSSP trends and patterns in shared savings/loss rates, participation, and other key metrics.

Financial results for 2020 may have been materially impacted by the pandemic as well as CMS’s modifications to MSSP rules and regulations. Due to the potential for skewed results, as well as to highlight potentially longer-term observations, prior year savings outcomes were analyzed as well.
