MedPAC: 4 Advantages of Prospective Assignment of ACO Beneficiaries

  1. The ACO is never responsible for beneficiaries its clinicians have previously seen
  2. The ACO knows its beneficiaries with certainty at the beginning of the year
  3. Ensures more accountability for decedents
  4. Mitigates unwarranted shared savings from targeting low-spending patients at the end of the year
