32 PIONEER ACOS CHOSEN FROM 80 APPLICANTS; PROJECTED TO SAVE $1.1 B

Abstract

John Butterly, executive vice president of medical affairs at Dartmouth-Hitchcock health, which was in the PGP demo, said if his organization had remained in the PGP Transition Demo, it would have forgone the chance to be in the Pioneer because, although Pioneers are allowed to transition into the statutory ACO Program, they are not allowed to transition into the Pioneer demo.
