Dedicated to Our Patients
We empower patients and are dedicated to helping restore active lifestyles.
The Acute Care Episode demonstration (ACE) is a test program designed by Medicare to improve the way healthcare is delivered.The goals of this demonstration are to improve quality of care and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries while providing a savings for our patients, providers, and the Medicare program, and to improve decision making for beneficiaries and increased cooperation among providers.
This demonstration provides an opportunity for Medicare to share savings achieved through the demonstration with patients who, based on quality and cost, choose to receive care from participating demonstration providers. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) will share up to 50% of the Medicare savings in the form of payments to beneficiaries, not to exceed their Part B premium amount.
The exact amount of the shared savings payment will vary by site and procedure. Medicare will send the shared savings payment directly to qualified beneficiaries approximately 90 days after they are discharged from the hospital. (Those Medicare beneficiaries who are receiving Medicaid benefits are not eligible to receive shared savings payments.)
Incentive payments may be taxable and beneficiaries are responsible for paying any Federal, State or other taxes owed on the shared savings payments.
