Affinia Health Network has entered into our 6th year of participating in the Trinity Health Accountable Care Organization. A CMS requirement of this program is that all beneficiaries receive a letter from Trinity Health Accountable Care Organization informing them that they are a beneficiary in the program through their provider. This letter will be mailed to patients on April 26, 2021. The letter provides a phone number the beneficiaries will call for any questions they may have.
