An early pilot program, called the "Pioneer Program." was largely unsuccessful for the participants, with a substantial percentage dropping out and several prestigious programs owing multi-million-dollar penalties for not meeting goals in reducing patient expenses, in addition to their own extra costs required to participate.

+

Specifically, only 13 out of the original 32 Pioneers saved enough in health care costs to receive any of the incentive benefits from Medicare, and those benefits probably did not cover additional administrative and technology costs necessary to participate in the program.

+

HHS announced that these health care providers decided to leave the Pioneer Program:

+

*Presbyterian Healthcare Services - a large provider in New Mexico

+

*University of Michigan

+

*Seton Health Alliance

+

*Prime Care Medical Network Inc.

+

*Healthcare Partners - Nevada and California ACOs (LLCs)

+

*Physician Health Partners LLC

+

*Plus (North Texas Specialty Physicians and Texas Health Resources)

+

JSA Care Partners LLC
