Sunflower ACO is driving transformative change within communities' healthcare landscapes!

We recognize the indispensable role of both primary care and specialist physicians in fostering collaborative healthcare for optimized outcomes. With primary care physicians and specialist physician members, Sunflower ACO serves Medicare beneficiaries.

Our approach to delivering Accountable Care begins with empowering primary care physicians to serve as Beneficiary Advocates. Through cultivating relationships built on trust, understanding, and reliability, our goal is to ensure beneficiaries remain closely aligned with their Sunflower ACO physician. By identifying each beneficiary's unique healthcare needs, personalized healthcare plans are crafted. These plans serve as the foundation for coordinated execution, emphasizing quality outcomes, appropriate utilization, and heightened beneficiary engagement.

In addition to fostering beneficiary involvement in their care, our personalized care plans integrate best practices rooted in evidence-based medicine. We facilitate seamless care coordination among providers and facilities while leveraging data to drive continuous quality improvement. Our utilization of community resources ensures beneficiaries receive the precise care they require at any given time.

Sunflower ACO actively participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program) established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This program facilitates collaboration among providers to enhance the quality of care for Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries while reducing unnecessary costs.

By promoting accountability, encouraging coordinated care, and incentivizing investment in infrastructure and care processes, the Shared Savings Program aligns with our commitment to putting patients first.

Participation in our ACO and the Shared Savings Program is entirely voluntary, reflecting our dedication to patient-centered care and provider collaboration. Click HERE for further details about the Shared Savings Program, please visit:
