Medicare Beneficiaries
Southowns Family Practice Participates in Reach ACO

Our practice is participating in Reach ACO, the nation’s largest-ever program to improve primary care.

Giving doctors extra support to help you get better care
Through Reach AC), our insurers will give our practice additional resources to help us better manage your care. We hope to provide you the highest quality patient-centered care.

More information for traditional Medicare (Part A and Part B) beneficiaries
To help us take better care of you, Medicare will start sharing some of your personal health information with us. This information will help provide us a more complete picture of your health so we’re better able to coordinate your care.
If you want to stop Medicare from sharing this information, please let us know as soon as possible so we can notify the Reach ACO team.
Your Medicare benefits aren’t changing. You still have the right to use or visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, at any time. Your doctor may continue to recommend that you see particular doctors for your specific health needs, but it’s always your choice which doctors you use or hospital you visit.

Questions?
If you have questions or concerns, you can call Lynn MacLean at 716-646-6700, or bring it up next time you’re in the office.
