Maine: Accountable Care Communities

Population Focus: Medicaid beneficiaries
Intervention Type: Service redesign
Type of Literature: Grey
Abstract

MaineCare’s AC program contracts with groups of providers who volunteer to participate in the shared savings model. If an AC succeeds in reducing costs while meeting quality benchmarks, the AC shares in the savings it achieves for the MaineCare program in the form of a shared savings payment, which is tied to the amount of the AC’s savings and its quality performance.
