The Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) is a voluntary advanced alternative payment model administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This value-based care program continues to be a cornerstone of federal efforts to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries, encouraging providers and health systems to collaboratively manage and coordinate patient care. While new programs continue to be introduced and several have evolved over time, the goal has remained the same for participating organizations: deliver high quality, patient-centered care while reducing unnecessary expenditures.
Orlando Health now operates two distinct MSSP Accountable Care Organizations (ACO), known as Orlando Health Collaborative Care (OHCC) and Florida Medical Clinic ACO (FMC ACO), respectively. Collectively, these two entities have completed more than 20 program years as of the conclusion of 2024, and both organizations were participating under CMS’s most advanced program track, known as the Enhanced ACO. Under this model, OHCC and FMC ACO are each compared against regionally weighted spending targets and national quality benchmarks.
