Frequently Asked Questions

01.
How is this different from a traditional ACO?
Arrow

Most ACOs ask physicians to take on administrative work and financial risk in exchange for a potential share of savings later.

Our model is different.

We provide an upfront payment to your practice and take on the operational and financial responsibility of running the ACO successfully. Our team manages the data, reporting, care management infrastructure, and program requirements.

You continue running your practice as you always have — focusing on patients — while we handle the value-based care infrastructure behind the scenes.

02.
What happens if savings targets aren’t met?
Arrow

Your upfront payment does not change.

You still receive the agreed-upon funding regardless of the final shared savings outcome.

We structure our partnerships carefully because we have deep experience operating ACOs and managing the financial models behind them. Our team knows the numbers and builds agreements conservatively so they work for physicians and for us.

In short, we take the financial risk — not your practice.

03.
Do I need to change my EMR or workflows?
Arrow

No.

You keep your existing EMR, billing processes, and staff exactly as they are.

We are not in the business of telling physicians how to practice medicine.

The only change is participation in our care management and population health programs, which help identify high-risk patients and close care gaps. Our team supports this work with additional staff if needed and infrastructure so the burden on your practice is minimal.

04.
How quickly can we get started?
Arrow

Very quickly.

To begin, we simply need your practice’s TIN so we can analyze your patient population and determine the annual funding amount available for your practice.

Once you review and sign the agreement, onboarding can begin right away and our team will guide you through the process step by step.
