Addressing funding and financing for Accountable Care begins with understanding the population and current providers like FQHCs, hospitals, and private practitioners. Reorganizing delivery systems, enhancing high-value care, and addressing gaps in capacity are crucial. Despite models like FQHCs, the safety net population is underserved. Community hospitals face challenges, and private physicians are underrepresented. Initiating Accountable Care in a Medi-Cal supported environment requires reorganization and transparency. Incentives, investment in infrastructure, and integration are key to reallocating resources for better care delivery.
