Sunshine ACO, LLC, Generally Reported Complete and Accurate Data on Quality Measures Through the CMS Web Portal, but There Were a Few Reporting Deficiencies That Did Not Affect the Overall Quality Performance Score
The Affordable Care Act established the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in the MSSP may be eligible to receive shared savings payments from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) if they reduce healthcare costs and satisfy the quality performance standard for their assigned beneficiaries. As part of the standard, ACOs must report to CMS complete and accurate data on all quality measures. For performance year (PY) 2016, ACOs reported more than half of the quality measures using the designated CMS web portal. If the reported data were not complete and accurate, the shared savings payments could have been affected. This vulnerability led us to select two ACOs that had consistently received shared savings payments in order to perform an initial risk assessment of ACOs' reporting of data on quality measures through the CMS web portal. This report covers one of those ACOs.
