If the ACO met pre-established quality goals, it would receive an incentive payment. Penalties would be assessed if care did not meet the established quality goals. Incentive payments and penalties would be split between the members of the ACO. The providers in the ACO would follow best practices, be patient-centered and contribute to the development of best clinical practices to build standards of evidenced-based medicine
