QCMS Creates Largest Accountable Care Organization

The Medical Society of the County of Queens has announced that it is creating one of the largest Physician Accountable Care Organizations (“ACO”) in New York. The ACO, with nearly 700 physician members, will be owned, comprised of and managed by physicians based in Queens. Authorized under the recent Federal healthcare reform legislation, the ACO will ultimately provide better and more efficient care to patients at a reduced cost.
