Annual distribution
Why join an ACO
Your peers are earning extra Medicare revenue. Here's how.
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) pool physicians together to reduce Medicare costs and improve care. When the ACO spends less than its Medicare benchmark, participating physicians share in the savings — on top of standard fee-for-service revenue.
Synergy's affiliated ACOs are smaller than the California average, which means each physician receives a larger share of the savings pool.
