The Chinese Community Accountable Care Organization ("CCACO") is a physician owned and operated accountable care organization formed in 2011 that is comprised of more than 200 physicians, the majority of which have been in practice for over 10 years practice, that serve approximately 12,000 Medicare beneficiaries within the Chinese communities throughout New York City in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. CCACO has over 100 primary care physicians as well as specialist physicians in the areas of cardiology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, gynecology/obstetrics, pediatrics, and more.
