How Some Major Accountable Care Organizations Work

Medicare Shared Savings Program

Number of participants: 220, with more set to join Jan. 1, 2014.

Run by: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

How it works: Participants include many smaller and less experienced organizations that may need more time and resources to integrate their health care delivery. ACOs can choose between a one-sided, shared savings model with no downside risk and a two-sided model that offers more reward in exchange for assuming some financial risk.
