The year 2021 has been a dramatic one for the evolution of alternative payment models (APMs) in U.S. healthcare, from every type of accountable care organization (ACO) to bundled payments, to the rollout of the Direct Contracting program for physician groups under Medicare. That has been true both in the public and private spaces, but policy changes on the federal level have involved the most dramatic developments.

Special Announcement from the ACOExhibitHall Team |
|
Some of our readers may have noticed that some links are no longer connecting to our website. As we work on transitioning to the new VBCExhibitHall website - as announced in our December 10th newsletter - ACOExhibitHall.com is currently down. However, regardless of the circumstances, we want to continue providing our readers with weekly content, so we're just doing things a little differently in the meantime! We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience!
This will be our final newsletter as ACOExhibitHall. Next week will bring the first issue of the new VBCExhibitHall Newsstand, and the introduction of our new website, VBCExhibitHall.com. We will have a new name and a fresh look, but as always, this newsletter, our webinars, and our resource library content are all free to access! We are very excited for the good things to come, and look forward to sharing them with our readers!
