Whether these savings are affected by disease chronicity and the mechanisms through which they occur are unclear. In this context, we examined the association between Medicare ACO implementation and episode spending for 2 different cardiovascular conditions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We analyzed a 20% sample of national Medicare data, identifying fee-for-service beneficiaries aged \u226565 years admitted for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or congestive heart failure (CHF) between January 2010 and October 2014. We distinguished admissions to hospitals participating in a Medicare ACO from those to hospitals that were not. We calculated 365-day, price-standardized episode spending made on behalf of these beneficiaries, differentiating between early (index admission to 90 days postdischarge) and late payments (91-365 days postdischarge). Using an interrupted time series design, we fit longitudinal multivariable models to estimate the association between hospital ACO participation and episode spending. Our study included 153\u2009476 beneficiaries admitted for AMI to 401 ACO participating hospitals and 2597 nonparticipating hospitals and 260\u2009420 beneficiaries admitted for CHF to 412 ACO participating hospitals and 2796 nonparticipating hospitals. On multivariable analysis, admission to an ACO participating hospital was not associated with changes in early episode spending (AMI, $95 per beneficiary; 95% CI, \u2212$481 to $671; CHF, $158; 95% CI, \u2212$290 to $605). However, it was associated with significant reductions in late episode spending for both cohorts (AMI, \u2212$680; 95% CI, \u2212$1348 to \u2212$11; CHF, \u2212$889; 95% CI, \u2212$1465 to \u2212$313).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>For beneficiaries with AMI or CHF, admission to ACO participating hospitals was not associated with changes in early episode spending, but it was associated with significant savings during the late episode. ACO effects on late episode spending may complement other value-based payment reforms that target the early episode.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circoutcomes.117.004495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,16]],"date-time":"2018-09-16T10:17:06Z","timestamp":1537093026000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Effect of Medicare Accountable Care Organizations on Early and Late Payments for Cardiovascular Disease Episodes"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shashank S.","family":"Sinha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine (S.S.S., B.K.N.)"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas M.","family":"Moloci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dow Division of Health Services Research, Department of Urology (N.M.M., B.K.H., J.M.H.)"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew M.","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"},{"name":"Department of Health Management and Policy, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor (A.M.R., A.A.M.)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam A.","family":"Markovitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"},{"name":"Department of Health Management and Policy, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor (A.M.R., A.A.M.)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carrie H.","family":"Colla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Geisel School of Medicine, Hanover, NH (C.H.C., V.A.L.)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valerie A.","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Geisel School of Medicine, Hanover, NH (C.H.C., V.A.L.)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brent K.","family":"Hollenbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dow Division of Health Services Research, Department of Urology (N.M.M., B.K.H., J.M.H.)"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brahmajee K.","family":"Nallamothu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine (S.S.S., B.K.N.)"},{"name":"Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (S.S.S., N.M.M., A.M.R., A.A.M., B.K.H., B.K.N.), University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor"},{"name":"Center for Clinical Management and Research, Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, MI (B.K.N.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John M.","family":"Hollingsworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dow Division of Health Services Research, Department of Urology (N.M.M., B.K.H., J.M.H.)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000485"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hjdsi.2014.05.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jchf.2016.01.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","first-page":"S284","article-title":"Integrated delivery systems: the cure for fragmentation.","volume":"15","author":"Enthoven AC","year":"2009","unstructured":"Enthoven, AC.
