Commonwealth ACOViemed says it has 27,000 patients (7892 vent patients). Commonwealth has 10,000 patients eligible for Viemed care. That's a big increase not built into Q1 guidance. Maybe it starts in Q2.
One example of new business is the Commonwealth ACO contract signed in the fourth quarter. Commonwealth is a collaboration of independent providers, who are actively seeking to improve the quality of healthcare and decrease the costs for patients living inside of Arizona.
ACO is approximately 10,000 patients within their network, and will specifically lean on Viemed to coordinate and deliver care inside of the home to reduce readmission rates. A partnership with an ACO has been a long time goal of the company, and would not have been possible to fulfill had we not had the quality data metrics to present to them.
