FAQ
Partnership in Health is part of a new program from CMS called ACO REACH, which aims to provide Medicare beneficiaries with access to enhanced benefits and to increase the availability of high-quality, coordinated care, including for people in underserved populations. Through Partnership in Health, the provider who takes care of you in a CommuniCare nursing facility works in partnership with the nursing facility to coordinate your care.
ACO REACH stands for Accountable Care Organization for Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health. This model is part of a new CMS innovation program focused on promoting health equity and addressing healthcare disparities for underserved communities. It is a redesigned version of the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model (GPDC) Model. The model provides healthcare providers with resources that empower them to improve the quality of care they're able to offer traditional Medicare patients.
