For People with HIV/AIDS

Yesterday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced final rules for a new program designed to encourage primary care doctors, specialists, hospitals, and other health care providers to coordinate their care. Created by the Affordable Care Act, these rules on Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) add to the menu of options for providers looking to better coordinate care for patients and will make it easier for providers to deliver high quality care and use health care dollars more wisely.

These rules followed months of comment and soliciting feedback from stakeholders across the health care industry. Here’s what people are saying about the new rules.

Your doctors try hard to give you the best care possible, but it can be a challenge to get all the information they need to protect your health. For people with Medicare, this is particularly important because a significant number of people over age 65 and those with disabilities live with one or more chronic conditions. That is why I’m so pleased with the work we are doing with doctors and hospitals to find ways to improve care and reduce costs. When doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers are able to work together they provide better, more coordinated health care. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, they can do that by becoming an Accountable Care Organization (ACO).
