FOR MEDICARE ACO
REACH MEMBERS
Your Medicare benefits will remain the same
ACO REACH stands for an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health. This is a Medicare ACO model that aims to improve patient care.
Medicare has started an initiative where healthcare providers who share a common set of goals aimed at improving patient care can work together more effectively. This initiative brings together healthcare professionals in our ACO, to work together with Medicare to give you more coordinated care and services.
BENEFITS
If you were aligned with C3 by Medicare or have chosen to be aligned with our ACO REACH, your Medicare benefits will stay the same. You can continue seeing any Medicare healthcare provider you choose.
MEMBER ID CARDS
You will not receive an additional ID card and all services will be paid for by Medicare.
