MSSP results prove value-based care delivers healthy patients, returns

(BPT) - The Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) achieved unprecedented results in 2024, marking the highest savings and participation rates since the program's inception. The program generated $2.5 billion in Medicare savings while distributing $4.1 billion in performance payments to physicians, a clear validation that coordinated care models can simultaneously improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs.1

However, the difference in performance across the participating accountable care organizations (ACOs) reveals important lessons about what drives success. While 75% of ACOs earned performance payments program-wide, the distribution was far from uniform. Aledade's physician-led ACOs achieved a 93% success rate, compared to the 73% program average.2 These performance results directly translate to patient care, with higher-performing ACOs demonstrating measurable improvement in preventive care delivery, chronic disease management and overall patient health outcomes.
