Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to the Medicare patients they serve.
Coordinated care helps ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, with the goal of 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
The Physician’s Accountable Care Organization (TP-ACO) is a physician led Accountable Care Organization (ACO) working with Medicare to improve medical care.
The Quality and Compliance Committees oversee the operations of the ACO, which was formed as a partnership of ACO Physicians and Participants in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Our administrative offices are headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
