Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are expected to be the most pervasive value-based model forhealth plans, according to an Availity report.
The report surveyed respondents on their strategy for adopting value-based models such as ACOs, patient-centered medical homes, payment for coordination, pay-for-performance for physicians and hospitals and bundled payments. Nearly 9 out of 10 health-plan executives said they either had implemented or were planning to implement an ACO in the next 12 to 18 months.
