As healthcare moves toward value-based care, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are increasingly tasked with achieving better outcomes at lower costs—while maintaining compliance and delivering patient-centered care.

This is especially challenging when coordinating with Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), and other post-acute providers. Clinical integration is only part of the puzzle. The real burden lies in managing the operational complexities—from billing and claims to credentialing, documentation, coding, and administrative oversight.

That’s where strategic outsourcing becomes a game-changer. At LTCPro, we partner with ACOs and their long-term care networks to streamline operations, reduce overhead, and improve visibility—ultimately driving stronger ROI and better patient outcomes.

Understanding the ACO Challenge in Post-Acute Care

ACOs are built on collaboration and accountability across the care continuum. However, managing long-term care operations comes with structural pain points:

• Fragmented data and documentation across multiple facilities
• Inconsistent billing and coding practices, leading to reimbursement delays and denials
• Staffing shortages in administrative and support functions
• Regulatory scrutiny from CMS and payer contracts
• Pressure to reduce readmission rates, length of stay, and overall cost of care

These challenges are intensified when ACOs must rely on a network of long-term care partners that may lack the infrastructure or bandwidth to meet evolving compliance and performance standards.

The Strategic Shift: Why ACOs Are Outsourcing LTC Operations

Leading ACOs are recognizing that outsourcing non-clinical functions to specialized partners is not just efficient—it’s essential for scalability, consistency, and control.

1. Cost Savings Without Sacrificing Compliance

Outsourcing eliminates the need for full-time in-house administrative teams across multiple facilities. By leveraging skilled external teams, ACOs reduce fixed overhead while maintaining high standards of accuracy and timeliness in billing, coding, and payroll processing.

2. Improved Revenue Cycle Performance

Delays and errors in billing and documentation directly impact reimbursements. Outsourcing these functions to experienced teams like LTCPro ensures cleaner claims, fewer denials, faster AR recovery, and optimized cash flow across your care network.

3. Regulatory Readiness and Documentation Accuracy

ACOs are under continuous audit pressure—especially around skilled nursing care, discharge planning, and patient transitions. Our coding experts and compliance teams ensure documentation is audit-ready and aligned with CMS and payer requirements.

4. Data Transparency and Actionable Insights

LTCPro provides advanced reporting and analytics on financials, claims performance, and operational benchmarks—giving ACOs the visibility they need to make informed, real-time decisions that impact cost and quality.

5. Scalability Across Your Care Network

Whether you’re managing 5 SNFs or 50, outsourcing gives ACOs the flexibility to expand without creating new operational silos. We standardize workflows across partner facilities, ensuring continuity, compliance, and a shared vision for value-based outcomes.
