CURA Health Management Purchases ACO Health Partners
Acquisition Brings a MACRA Solution to Physicians with MIPS Non-Compliance Concerns
Jacksonville, FL, April 24, 2018 --(PR.com)-- CURA Health Management, a healthcare enablement company with expertise in accountable care organization (ACO) management, announced today the acquisition of Florida-based ACO Health Partners, a Medicare Shared Savings Accountable Care Organization, from Citra Health Solutions.
Founded in 2012, ACO Health Partners became one of the first Medicare Shared Savings ACOs to be built on a model of coordinated care that ensures efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The purchase of this ACO both expands CURA Health Management’s expertise and reach and brings a MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) solution to the physician marketplace.
"We are excited to join forces with ACO Health Partners and its stellar staff with unprecedented experience,” said Nicole Bradberry, co-founder of Cura Health Management. “As payment models shift, we look forward to partnering with high-performing physicians and expanding the reach of this and other ACOs. Our team here at CURA Health Management has some of the most significant experience in the country when it comes to the ACO marketplace.”
Under the new arrangement, interested physicians who meet ACO Health Partners criteria, determined by CURA’s algorithms using Medicare claims data, will be invited to become a member of the ACO. In addition, under a 2019 advanced alternative payment model, physicians who partner with the ACO by August 31, 2018 will receive the MACRA 5% fee schedule increase for 2019.
“We are passing the baton of leadership to Cura Health Management and expect nothing but great success from them,” said Scott Sanner, CEO of Citra Health Solutions. “We have made a strategic decision to invest in our core business and continue to strengthen our technology and care services platforms. While we will not be in the business of owning an ACO, we will continue to provide innovative solutions for those that hold risk.”
