At ASAAR Medical, we’re proud to participate in the ACO REACH (Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health) model — a forward-thinking initiative from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This program reimagines how healthcare is delivered by putting patients, equity, and value at the center of every decision.

Unlike traditional care models, ACO REACH emphasizes accountability, collaboration, and outcomes. It’s designed to ensure every patient receives the right care, at the right time, from a coordinated network of healthcare providers who share a unified goal: better health and better care at lower costs.

What Is the ACO REACH Program?

The ACO REACH program builds upon the principles of earlier Accountable Care Organization (ACO) models but with a stronger focus on health equity, transparency, and patient engagement. It’s not just about improving care coordination — it’s about expanding access and reducing disparities across diverse communities.

Under this model, ASAAR Medical works with physicians, specialists, and care teams to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care. The ACO REACH program allows for greater flexibility in how care is managed, making it easier to meet the unique needs of each patient — especially those in underserved populations.

Key Features of ACO REACH:

• Commitment to Health Equity: Addressing barriers to care in vulnerable communities.
• Patient-Centered Coordination: Integrating primary care, specialists, and community resources.
• Accountability for Outcomes: Measuring success based on improved patient health, not service volume.
• Data-Driven Decision-Making: Leveraging advanced analytics to track performance and improve results.

How ASAAR Medical Uses ACO REACH to Improve Patient Care

Through the ACO REACH program, ASAAR Medical ensures that every patient’s healthcare experience is guided by collaboration and compassion. By uniting providers under one coordinated network, we reduce fragmented care and help patients navigate their health journey more effectively.

Our Approach:

• Proactive Care Management: Identifying risks early and addressing health issues before they escalate.
• Seamless Provider Collaboration: Encouraging communication between doctors, specialists, and care teams.
• Enhanced Patient Engagement: Empowering patients with education, resources, and clear care plans.

This approach minimizes unnecessary hospitalizations, duplicate testing, and costly interventions — creating a more efficient healthcare system that truly puts patients first.

The Benefits of ACO REACH for Patients and Providers

The REACH program offers clear benefits across the healthcare spectrum. Patients enjoy a more connected experience, while providers can focus on delivering higher-quality care without administrative obstacles.

For Patients:

• Access to coordinated, comprehensive care
• Personalized attention that reflects their individual health needs
• Improved long-term outcomes through preventive care and education

For Providers:

• A streamlined system for collaboration and data sharing
• Financial incentives tied to quality and patient satisfaction, not service volume
• Greater flexibility to innovate in care delivery

Through the ACO REACH program, ASAAR Medical is helping lead the way toward a fairer, more efficient healthcare system.

ACO REACH and the Future of Value-Based Care

ACO REACH is more than just a program — it’s the future of healthcare. Promoting value over volume, it drives the shift toward sustainable, equitable care. ASAAR Medical’s participation in the program reflects our dedication to innovation, accountability, and community well-being.

We believe healthcare should work for everyone, regardless of background or income. With ACO REACH, we’re taking concrete steps to make that vision a reality — ensuring that equity and quality care go hand in hand.
