.@modrnhealthcr @MHShelbyL We agree! That’s why we’re building our agreements differently (and more aggressively) here in NC. Our #BluePremier model involves downside risk, holding both providers and us jointly accountable for health outcomes. mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/blue-cros…

Through our shared risk financial model, a Blue Premier health system shares in cost savings if it meets goals to improve the health of patients – and shares in the losses if it falls short of targets established by the model.

And we’re making rapid progress. We are on track to have 50% of members served by providers in shared risk value-based agreements next year. To hit this goal, we have three focuses – health systems, independent primary care, and advanced primary care.

For all three, our #BluePremier partners will accept two-sided risk arrangements. Fee schedules are flat unless providers commit to manage total cost of care and quality. Period. Here’s a deeper dive into how we’re doing this work: linkedin.com/pulse/look-wha… @SuzanneDelbanco
