ACO Medicare Shared Savings Program Compliance Checklist

Summary

This checklist identifies and explains the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) compliance plan requirements for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). By requiring ACOs to have a compliance plan, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) protects the rights of Medicare beneficiaries, minimizes the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse, and helps providers provide high-quality, coordinated, and efficient care.
