Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) are provider networks created under the federal Affordable Care Act. They are designed to coordinate patient care and make health care delivery more efficient. ACOs are allowed to participate in shared-savings programs that offer the opportunity to split money with insurers or government programs if ACO providers meet quality standards for patient care while spending less than an agreed-upon amount to care for a set population.
