A recent study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) located in a state with an active Medicaid accountable care organization were 15.2 percentage points more likely to conduct social risk screening than those located in other states. However, FQHCs that participated in a Medicaid managed care contract were 9.5 percentage points less likely to screen for social risks than FQHCs without Medicaid managed care.

How Rural ACOs earned $100M-plus in shared savings and expanded
their 340B programs up to 50%
ACO participation improves patient care and provides reliable
income for rural hospitals. Safety-net providers can unlock
unrealized revenue and improve patient care with ACOs and the
340B program. This adds value to both the facility and its
patients. Additionally, with proper documentation, ACO
participation can more than double 340B net discounts for
Medicare patients. |
