Providing safe, quality care for patients is our top priority, but we also strive to reduce the cost of healthcare. As an accountable care organization (ACO), WellSpan works with doctors, hospitals and other health care providers to improve the quality and experience of the care you receive.
ACOs receive a portion of any savings resulting from reducing costs and meeting quality requirements.
We're required to report information about our care and results. The following information is provided per Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) regulations 42 CFR §425.308.
