Encouraging physicians and hospitals to come together to form Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to serve fee-for-service Medicare patients is a key cost control and quality improvement feature of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In an <st1:stockticker w:st="on">ACO</st1:stockticker>, independent providers form integrated delivery systems to offer more efficient care for a defined population of patients. Many policy-makers hope Medicare ACOs will increase care coordination and spur the expansion of these collaborations in the private market.</p>
<ul>
<li>
ACOs are promising vehicles for delivering health care more efficiently, but some insurers and regulators worry they could reduce competition and drive up prices.</li>
<li>
