(857 posts)you have now taken to selective data picking.
I repeat: if the program is not financially viable it's a failed program! When participants are dropping out for a reasonable and identified dissatisfier it only makes sense to fix it. Payment methodologies are not simple; it's not like we have a FFS in the age of DRGs, co-morbidity modifiers/add ons, PPS, etc. along with claw backs, penalties, and potential at risk payments. In particular participants have also identified the metrics used for program success criteria to need work.
You can keep repeating your bullshit or you could make everyone here think you are intelligent and simply acknowledge ACOs, if they do not change, will probably fail. Things have to be a win for the providers or it is completely unreasonable to expect their participation let alone their willing participation.
Also, surprise, surprise, you're misrepresenting the article. In my first link only one organization, the first one, speaks of being "financially strapped." Why are you continuing to be so deceitful? What is your agenda?
