Key Points

  • Changes how Medicare assigns people to shared-savings care groups for years starting Jan. 1, 2027.
  • Adds a new rule so certain primary care visits provided by approved ACO clinicians count for assigning a person.
  • This could shift which doctor-led group is held responsible for coordinating a Medicare patient’s care.
  • For some Medicare patients, it may change which care group contacts them about care coordination, check-ins, or follow-up plans.
  • The bill text provided is narrow and does not describe costs, patient notices, or changes to Medicare benefits.
