Enrollment In State Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations Continues To Grow – OPEN MINDS Releases Findings Of Medicaid ACO Report
Gettysburg, Pa. (August 12, 2018) – A new report from OPEN MINDS found that 6.2% of the Medicaid population (3.8 million Medicaid members) are enrolled in state-prescribed Medicaid accountable care organizations (ACOs)—up from 3.5% of the Medicaid population (2.6 million Medicaid members) in 2016. A total of 11 states now have ACOs (Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, and Vermont)—up from nine states in 2016. These findings were released by OPEN MINDS in their recent reference guide, The 2018 OPEN MINDS Medicaid ACO Trend Update.
“Medicare ACOs have received most of the recent attention in the news, leaving in state Medicaid ACO programs flying largely under the radar. But the footprint of Medicaid ACOs is on the rise—and, depending on the state markets that your organization is interested in, are increasingly important to strategy,” said Athena Mandros, Market Intelligence Director, OPEN MINDS. “Our new analysis of the Medicaid ACO market looks at the changes in Medicaid ACO market impact nationally, and on a state-by-state basis.”
