R-Health, a leader in Advanced Primary Care solutions, today announced that its Care is Primary Accountable Care Organization (ACO), has achieved $9.2 million in shared savings under the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for 2019. The ACO also achieved a Quality Score of 92.17%. This is the second year in a row that the ACO has achieved significant shared savings, with 51% more savings than 2018. Care is Primary ACO’s reduction in the total cost of care for its Medicare beneficiaries placed it in the top 8% of all ACOs nationwide.

Care is Primary ACO delivers value-based care by partnering with independent primary care physicians throughout the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania to focus on practice transformation, shifting from a volume-based model to a quality-focused approach. The value-based system rewards practices when they achieve a superior patient experience and positive health outcomes.

Primary care has the ability to transform healthcare, delivering better, more personalized care to patients at lower costs. Care is Primary ACO has continued to demonstrate this with its outstanding results.

The Care is Primary ACO included 20 practices, 65 high-quality independent providers, and 9,400 Medicare beneficiaries through the MSSP in 2019.
