NEXT ACO LLC
TRINITY, FLORIDA

NEXT ACO of Nature Coast is a forward-thinking Accountable Care Organization focused on primary care, established by Dr. Jay Chowdappa in partnership with CMS through the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). This initiative started back in January 2016 and aims to hit significant goals set by CMS: enhancing patient experiences, improving overall health outcomes, and cutting down costs for Medicare. Nestled in Trinity, Pasco County, Florida, this organization is on a mission to refine healthcare coordination for Medicare Fee-For-Services beneficiaries throughout Tampa Bay and nearby territories. Stakeholder opportunities at NEXT ACO of Nature Coast are open to all participants without any upfront fees. Dr. Chowdappa's proven leadership comes from his accomplishments with the West Florida ACO, which he founded in 2012. This group has flourished over time to include more than 100 primary care providers and nearly 20,000 Medicare beneficiaries, making it one of the first wave of 27 ACOs under Medicare. In addition, Dr. Chowdappa established Paradigm ACO in 2013; together, these two organizations have collectively saved about $14 million during their first year with MSSP participation. He continues to lead Next Healthcare Solutions, a consultancy that provides ACO management services on a national scale. Incorporated under the Florida Limited Liability corporation type with its official inception on February 2, 2015, NEXT ACO of Nature Coast operates with filing number L15000019923 and is registered until April 8, 2024.
