"The Pioneer program is specifically designed for organizations
that are already involved in risk contracting and presumably have the
necessary physician relationships, IT infrastructure, and care
management programs in place. These organizations have a higher
probability of achieving success within a Medicare ACO structure, and
may create some early successes for that ACO program." Jonathan Pearce,
FHFMA, Principal, Singletrack Analytics, LLC |
