Adirondacks ACO serves as the provider network for government-sponsored and commercial insurance plans available to New York residents.
How we do it
Adirondacks ACO contracts directly with government and commercial insurance companies. When we contract with government and commercial insurance companies, we implement our model that pays for the value of care instead of the volume of care for our network. By partnering with an ACO like us, government and commercial insurance companies can offer affordable insurance products where the provider network is motivated to deliver quality care at a lower cost, which benefits the patient, the payer, and the provider.
