Are Accountable Care Organizations (A.C.O.s) friendlier to integrative medicine than the old system? Are there ways these shift the "perverse incentives" in the payment system and open potential for those modalities and disciplines that are proactive on health? To explore those and related questions, this session opens with a presentation from a former senior policy analyst with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services who was directly involved with legislative and regulatory policy development related to the legislation. She has since worked with a Boston-based team of integrative health leaders to create a grid of potential opportunities under A.C.O.s which she will present. An integrative medical doctor and a national observer of trends in integrative care will serve as discussants to her perspectives. This will kicking off a dialogue with audience members on opportunities, and what is working and what isn't, as leaders in integrative health and medicine find their way into emerging economic and clinical models.
