The Chinese Community Accountable Care Organization (“CCACO”) is a physician-owned and physician-operated accountable care organization formed in 2011. CCACO is made up of community physicians who provide culturally competent, coordinated care for Medicare beneficiaries throughout New York City’s Chinese communities, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
CCACO includes primary care physicians and specialist physicians across areas such as cardiology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, gynecology/obstetrics, pediatrics, and other specialties. Our physicians and staff work together to improve patient outcomes, strengthen preventive care, and reduce avoidable healthcare costs through value-based care.
CCACO is well equipped to coordinate and provide culturally competent care to patients in this unique community. The Board of Directors who lead and guide the organization are esteemed physicians who are recognized within the community as leaders in their areas of practice.
In July 2019, CCACO aligned with Balance ACO to form SOMOS ACO, allowing our physicians to continue participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program through a larger and highly experienced ACO network. SOMOS ACO is co-owned by CCACO and continues to represent our shared commitment to high-quality, coordinated, and cost-effective care.
