Cook County Health extended its contract with Medical Home Network’s Accountable Care Organization (MHN ACO) to provide high-quality managed health care to approximately 120,000 Medicaid patients, MHN ACO announced. The contract shifts additional financial accountability to MHN ACO, ensuring Cook County Health (CCH) is rewarded for its high quality care and outcomes for its patients. MHN ACO will take financial risk while continuing to be responsible clinically to provide patients with better care through the use of coordinated care management at the practice level. In its 4.5-year partnership with CCH, MHN ACO produced healthier patients while lowering total costs of care through comprehensive care management focused on whole person care supported by Medical Home Network’s proprietary technology and dedicated care manager teams. Medical Home Network’s ACO, including nine Federally Qualified Health Centers, three hospital systems, and their physician practices, is one of the most successful managed care partnerships with CCH, outperforming other provider groups. MHN ACO’s focus on whole person care accounts for a patient’s medical history and social determinants impacting their health.  The renewed contract extends the partnership with MHN ACO and Cook County Health through 2021.
