The consulting firm Oliver Wyman recently released research on the growth trends of accountable care organizations participating in Medicare's ACO programs. Here are some key findings from the report:
- There are an estimated 585 ACOs total in the U.S.
- ACOs serve between 49 and 59 million U.S. residents, or between 15 and 17% of the population.
- The number of ACOs rose by 12% last year and the number of patients served rose 6%.
- 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries (11% of total Medicare beneficiaries) receive their healthcare from ACOs.
- ACOs provide care to 35 million non-Medicare patients.
- Almost 70% of the U.S. population live in localities served by accountable care organizations.
