Why we started shaco
The industry standard is defined by delay and risk: Traditional ACOs require providers to wait 12 to 18 months for a complex shared savings calculation, often paired with downside risk and minimal transparency.
shaco flips the script. Our unique and transparent model puts healthcare providers in the driver’s seat. Instead of waiting, providers deliver high-value clinical actions that directly improve patient health—such as closing care gaps, improving medication adherence, and completing annual wellness visits—and get paid monthly. This direct, immediate focus is what drives both superior performance and better patient outcomes at scale.
Bringing tangible rewards to providers for delivering outstanding care—and aligning financial incentives with high-value clinical actions, like closing care gaps and promoting adherence—is Stellar's unique value.
