Texas Association of Accountable Care Organizations (TXAACOs)

What Texas Association of Accountable Care Organizations (TXAACOs) does

Texas Association of Accountable Care Organizations (TXAACOs) is a private professional membership association that serves as the Texas regional network within the ValueH Association Network (ValueH Network LLC). Founded in 2024 and operating with a 1-10 employee team led by CEO Nicole Bradberry, the organization aggregates 119+ member ACOs, clinically integrated networks, independent physician groups, hospitals, payers, and value-based care vendors across Texas markets including Houston/Gulf Coast, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin/Central Texas, San Antonio, Rio Grande Valley, and West Texas/El Paso. Its mission is to advance value-based care adoption through advocacy, education, peer collaboration, and shared benchmarking, with Nicole Bradberry simultaneously serving as CEO of the Florida counterpart FLAACOs.

TXAACOs commercializes three primary membership tiers — Individual ($250/year), Organization ($2,500/year for ACOs, including Texas benchmarking data and board eligibility), and Business Partner ($4,500/year for vendors) — plus a conference sponsorship ladder ranging from Start-up Exhibitor ($3,500) up to Diamond ($15,000). The flagship annual conference (2026 in Dallas, 2027 planned) anchors member acquisition, sponsor revenue, and community engagement. The TXAACOs Alliance adds group purchasing, compliance support, and educational programming, while the LAUNCH initiative extends the product surface into emerging-leader development. Technology is conventional: a membership-association platform hosted via valueh.com, supplemented by email newsletters, social channels, and event-management tools — there is no proprietary AI, no API, and no mobile app.

The business model is a classic association stack: recurring membership dues provide a stable base, conference sponsorships and partner program fees generate event-driven lumpiness, and shared leadership/operations with FLAACOs under ValueH Network LLC create cost leverage. Customer segments span ACOs (primary), independent physician groups, hospitals/IDNs, CINs, PHOs, payers, and VBC vendors — with a horizontal segmentation approach. Distribution is a mix of direct enterprise sales through website application forms (2-business-day team follow-up), field sales via conference presence, and a channel model in which business partners extend reach into ACO decision-makers. Strategic partners include Aledade (flagship), Medscape Alliance, Persivia, Ceresti Health, Zus Health, Tellihealth, iRhythm Technologies, APM Connect, ThoroughCare, and Pinnacle Healthcare Consulting.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AHIP (America's Health Insurance Plans): AHIP is the national trade association for health insurers, including those that contract with TXAACOs member ACOs. While payer-side rather than provider-side, it operates in the same VBC contracting ecosystem and hosts overlapping payer/provider engagement events.
• American Hospital Association (AHA): AHA is the national advocacy organization for hospitals and health systems, many of whom operate ACOs. It competes for advocacy influence and member engagement from health system ACOs that TXAACOs also serves.
• Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA): HFMA serves healthcare finance professionals with educational resources, certifications, and conferences. It overlaps with TXAACOs' financial/operational audience in ACOs and value-based contracting, particularly around reimbursement and risk management.
• American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): AAFP represents family physicians, many of whom participate in ACOs as primary care providers. It offers overlapping value-based care education and advocacy targeted at the same primary care physician audience TXAACOs serves.
• American Medical Association (AMA): AMA represents physicians nationally with policy advocacy, education, and member resources. Many Texas ACO physicians hold dual membership, and AMA's broader physician advocacy competes for member mindshare and dues.
• Medical Group Management Association (MGMA): MGMA is a national membership association for medical group practice leaders with overlapping membership in physician-led ACOs, IPAs, and CINs. It competes for the same healthcare executive audience with broader practice management focus.
• National Association of ACOs (NAACOs): NAACOs is the largest national trade association representing ACOs across all U.S. states. It competes directly with TXAACOs for member attention and advocacy representation, though at a federal rather than state-specific level.

Direct peers

• Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI): NRHI is a national network of regional health improvement collaboratives focused on value-based care, quality measurement, and provider engagement. It is comparable in mission structure to TXAACOs' regional ACO focus and competes for collaborative grants and partnerships.
• Florida Association of ACOs (FLAACOs): FLAACOs is the Florida sister organization to TXAACOs within the ValueH Network, sharing the same CEO and operating model. It is the most directly comparable peer given its identical structure, membership tiers, conference format, and ACO focus.

Emerging players

• Primary Care Collaborative: The Primary Care Collaborative advocates for advanced primary care models including ACOs and PCMHs. It shares TXAACOs' audience of primary care leaders and ACO executives pursuing value-based payment, though at a national policy rather than regional networking level.
