A true Affordable Care Act success story
About ACOs
At ESHP ACO, we make it our mission to make Medicare regulatory compliance simpler for physicians. We want to maintain the vision of independently practicing and financially stable physicians in a rapidly shifting regulatory environment, long into the future.
We recognize that currently, it is becoming less and less possible for physicians to maintain independence and profitability, as venture capitalists seek to take over practices overwhelmed by regulatory red tape.

What is an ACO?

The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients get the right care at the right time while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors.
When an ACO succeeds in both delivering high-quality care and spending health care dollars more wisely, it will share in the savings it achieves for the Medicare program.
