     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Accountable Care in Rural America Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) to exclude certain components from a methodology used under the Medicare Shared Savings Program. The program enables accountable care organizations (ACOs) to receive payments for savings stemming from care coordination and management. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill requires the CMS to exclude an ACO's assigned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries from certain regional adjustments to the ACO's benchmark for savings determinations, and to otherwise ensure that an ACO is not in a less favorable financial position due to its share of assigned beneficiaries in the region. &lt;/p&gt;

 <p><b>Accountable Care in Rural America Act</b></p> <p>This bill requires the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) to exclude certain components from a methodology used under the Medicare Shared Savings Program. The program enables accountable care organizations (ACOs) to receive payments for savings stemming from care coordination and management. </p> <p>Specifically, the bill requires the CMS to exclude an ACO's assigned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries from certain regional adjustments to the ACO's benchmark for savings determinations, and to otherwise ensure that an ACO is not in a less favorable financial position due to its share of assigned beneficiaries in the region. </p>
