California insurers join forces on value-based primary care model
By Noah Tong
A new collaboration between three health plans is aiming to improve primary care in California and reduce physician burnout.
Blue Shield of California, Aetna and Health Net are all participating in the California Advanced Primary Care Initiative, which includes a unique value-based payment structure.
The demonstration project is facilitated by the Purchaser Business Group on Health’s California Quality Collaborative (CQC) and the Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA). If successful, the program could be scaled beyond the state.
