BIDCO is a value-based physician and hospital Accountable Care Organization (ACO). We offer physician groups and hospitals the structure to contract, share risk, and build care management systems together, with the goal of providing the highest quality care in the most cost-efficient way through effective population health management.

BIDCO was an early adopter of merging global budget accountability with the delivery of high-quality care, and is one of the Pioneer ACOs contracted with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. To deliver value to patients, commercial payors, and the government, BIDCO leverages the shared skills of more than 2,400 primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and six community hospitals including Beth Israel Deaconess Needham, Beth Israel Deaconess Milton, Beth Israel Deaconess Plymouth, Cambridge Health Alliance, Lawrence General Hospital, and Anna Jaques Hospital.
