NAACOS is actively engaged with CMS and Congress to improve the Medicare ACO program. To facilitate these discussions, NAACOS conducted a short, 11 question survey to all known ACOs. The survey was designed to capture vital new information from the April 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012 CMS MSSP ACOs after their first full year of operation. This was the first large-scale examination of actual first-year start-up costs and IT spending experienced by ACOs.
