Rewarding Primary Care Practice Reform with Physician Payment Reform: A Medical Home's Experience - 45 Minute Webinar
Healthcare Intelligence Network, Feb 2011, Minutes: 45
Presenter: Bruce Nash, MD, MBA, senior VP of medical affairs and CMO for Capital District Physicians' Health Plan Inc. (CDPHP)
With the dual goal of improving the value of healthcare and enhancing the compensation to primary care physicians, CDPHP, a network model health plan, launched a two-phase pilot in 2008 to reform both the practice of primary care in its network and the payment to these physicians.
This medical home project, which started with three practices in Phase One, is expanding this year in Phase Two to include 21 additional practices. Practices receive an incentive for practice transformation and are eligible for additional reimbursement for meeting quality and efficiency targets.
During this 45-minute webinar, Dr. Bruce Nash, described how CDPHP met the challenge of developing a novel risk adjustment methodology that would drive a global payment combined with a significant bonus structure to attract physician participation and encourage future growth by medical students to enter primary care.
