MedPAC Floats Idea of ACO Medigap Plan

MedPAC Floats Idea of ACO Medigap Plan-medpage: WASHINGTON -- Medicare might want to create a supplemental coverage plan that encourages patients to seek care in a single accountable care organization (ACO), the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) was told Thursday. A "Medicare Select ACO supplemental plan" would provide lower cost-sharing for patients in an ACO in an attempt to increase loyalty to that ACO's providers, MedPAC staff told commissioners.
