Atlas IPA Achieves Highest Net Savings Rate Among ACO REACH Participants in 2024
Atlas IPA, part of Essen Health Care, achieved the highest net savings rate among all participants in CMS's ACO REACH model for Performance Year 2024. According to newly released data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Atlas IPA generated a gross savings rate of 31.5% and a net savings rate of 25.8%, outperforming all other High Needs Population ACOs in reducing costs for high-acuity, medically complex beneficiaries. The ACO REACH model is designed to hold accountable care organizations (ACOs) financially responsible for the total cost and quality of Medicare beneficiary care. Atlas IPA's success reflects its focus on managing patients at home rather than institutional settings, a strategy that has proven effective in improving efficiency and outcomes. The organization plans to continue investing in clinical infrastructure and care coordination to maintain this performance. Essen Health Care is a multi-specialty healthcare provider with over 25 years of experience serving vulnerable populations through primary care, urgent care, specialty services, house calls, nursing home support, and community partnerships.
