In the ACC’s first year (FY 11-12) we Reduced Medicaid costs by $20 compared to if the ACC were not in placeIn doing so, we returned nearly $3 million to state and federal tax payersWe identified three Key Performance Indicators: Hospital readmissions, ER utilization and High-Cost ImagingWhile ER Utilization increased by .23%, it was much less than the overall Medicaid population not enrolled in the ACC…that group Increased ER utilization by 1%...so we made very good in-roads with the ACC populationOverall, we expect these numbers to improve even more as we get more clients enrolled. These figures were based on ACC enrollment of Approx 150,000 clients about 25% of overall Medicaid population.
