Big news from @BlueCrossNC today! Average pre-subsidy ACA rates for #NorthCarolina individuals will decrease in all 100 counties, with a statewide 5.5% average rate decrease for 2020 #ACA individual plans. bit.ly/2020_aca_ratesA
@BlueCrossNC This is $230 million in savings for our members supported by our shift to #ValueBasedCare
@BlueCrossNC Our average rate reduction for individual members has totaled nearly 10 percent over the last two years
@BlueCrossNC Boom! Image
@BlueCrossNC Partnership and visionary leadership from @UNC_Health_Care Alliance and @wakehealth and @NovantHealth made this happen in greater Triangle, Triad and Charlotte regions.
@BlueCrossNC In particular, @matt_ewend, John Lewis, Fred Hargett, Kevin High helped make this happen. But they all need to work on their Twitter game. Can you help them?

During a pandemic there can be glimmers of light. I am proud to announce that we have brought production of #N95 masks (beginning to end) to #NC. THREAD

mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/made-in-n…
The #MadeinNC collaboration will produce nearly 2 million N95 respirators per year to fill the unmet need for #NC frontline health providers during #COVID19.
Since the onset of #COVID19, demand for N95 respirators and other PPE has outpaced current global manufacturing capabilities. N95s are still scarce and many health organizations confront the issue of counterfeits and price gauging, among other obstacles.

🥁Drum roll please ...The 2019 results are in. Kudos to @ConeHealth, @DukeHealth-@PDCDuke
, @UNC_Health_Care, @wakehealth, and @WakeMed (WKCC), as well as @AledadeACO who share our vision for better, more affordable health care. We did it! 🎉 THREAD mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/blue-cros… Image
Under #BluePremier in 2019, @BlueCrossNC’s value-based care program, providers across 5 health systems & practices affiliated w/ @AledadeACO served 536,000 members.
These health care providers also generated an estimated $153 million through cost savings, quality improvements and slowing the rate of spending on health care. 👏👏

Important piece in @nytimes summarizing the promise and challenges ahead for #telehealth by @ReedAbelson. Privileged to join the conversation.

As I stated here, despite the promise, there’s a lot we don’t know about #telehealth. THREAD

nytimes.com/2020/08/03/hea…
We need to understand how it delivers value to patients by improving outcomes, quality, and affordability of care 2/
If the right hand is #telehealth, the left hand is #valuebased payment (including #PCPCapitation) - the method of how we pay matters a lot in motivating the behaviors we need to see in our delivery system. 3/

📣‼️Good news – we've extended the deadline to Aug 14th for the financial support program 💰for independent primary care practices (Accelerate to Value).

We've received a lot of great questions. Here are answers to the top 6 to help make the smart decision to apply:

THREAD
Q1: How is the Accelerate to Value application connected to joining a Blue Premier ACO?

Answer: These are two *separate* applications. Accelerate to Value is a program that gives you upfront payments 💰 to stabilize practice revenue during #COVID19.
The Accelerate to Value application is due August 14th ‼️

As part of this program, you will need to join a Blue Premier ACO by December 31, 2020. It’s a separate process with that ACO. You have the next 5 months to consider your options for Blue Premier ACOs to join.

📣 Today we can report #somegoodnews for sustainability of our health system. THREAD. mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/primary-c… Image
We are on a mission to make health care better, safer, and more affordable by transforming the health care delivery system in North Carolina.

Step 1: Change the way we pay for health care.
One of our goals is that, by 2023, every @BlueCrossNC member will have a Blue Premier provider that is accountable for their total cost of care and quality. Accountable care = better care, better experience, more efficient care.
