City Care Partners
Better care. Coordinated for you.
An Accountable Care Organization, or ACO, is a group of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who work together to coordinate care for Medicare beneficiaries. The goal is simple: to make sure you get the right care at the right time, while avoiding the unnecessary tests, duplicate procedures, and medical errors that can happen when your providers do not communicate with one another.
City Care Partners is an ACO participating in the CMS LEAD Model — a ten-year program created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to improve care for Medicare beneficiaries.
Understanding what an ACO is — and isn't — can help you make informed decisions about your healthcare.
Your Medicare benefits do not change. You are not signing up for a new health plan, paying any extra costs, or losing any of your existing coverage.
You can continue to see any doctor or specialist who accepts Medicare — whether or not they are part of City Care Partners.
Your participating providers share information so they can work as a team. You may not notice anything different — except, hopefully, better care.
Primary care doctors, specialists, and other healthcare providers in our network agree to work as a team to coordinate your care.
With your permission, your healthcare providers can see your medical history, test results, and treatment plans, helping them make better-informed decisions about your care.
Your care team works together to ensure you get the right care at the right time, avoiding duplicate tests and unnecessary hospital visits.
The goal is to improve your health outcomes, enhance your experience with the healthcare system, and reduce unnecessary costs — all while maintaining your Medicare benefits and freedom of choice.
We're here to help you understand your rights and options as a Medicare beneficiary.
