ACO Financial Checklist

For any Payer or Provider involved in risk-sharing arrangements
Assembled by an Actuary helping providers and payers successfully share risk for 20+ years.

Checklist

  • I know that the ACO savings model determining financial risk or reward is fair and unbiased

  • I have confidence in our CINs and Medical Groups to be able to effectively lower utilization and costs

  • I have confidence in our ability to produce and use data & analytics to identify areas of opportunity
  • I am confident we are receiving the additional market share that was expected or promised
  • I know the end-game of my ACO deals

How AHP Can Help

  • Complete a full Actuarial assessment of the deal using an approach that has yielded value for both sides
  • Identify common biases hidden in many risk-share arrangements, and recommend how to avoid them
  • Assess Care Management Effectiveness (CME) of ACO
  • Provide actionable information to ACOs
  • Provide best practices for success in value-based deals, to both payer and ACO
  • Help assemble your disparate data sources into a comprehensive data warehouse, using either a custom solution or improving an existing one
  • Fill-in missing gaps in the data, and ensure a “single source of truth”
  • Analyze the whole market picture in order to find “true” incremental volume and margin, not just a shift between products
  • Create a glide-path from “dipping your toe in the water” of risk deals to creating your own successful ACO product or health plan
