In a recent white paper, Leavitt Partners reports that "Medicaid ACOs cover two to three times as many lives per contract as Medicare and commercial ACOs. 21% of Medicaid ACOs are physician-led, 33% are hospital system-led and 46% are led by an integrated physician-hospital system."

Excerpted from: Accountable Care News, Volume 10 Number 5, May 2019, "Leavitt Says Stats Show Medicaid ACOs ‘Remain Promising’."
