“Shortening the time frame for taking on risk from six years to two for
new ACOs greatly reduces the time for new entrants to establish the
required risk pool data required for accurately understanding the costs
associate with medical care, much less building out required
infrastructure. I suspect the result will be to freeze out smaller
players.”
- Tim Gary, Of Counsel, Dickinson Wright, CEO, Crux
Strategies.

"76% of Providers, 80% of Vendors/Others and 100% of Purchasers are
involved with ACOs.”
