Check out my discussion with @lrkosinski on the trials, tribulations, and ongoing efforts to transition specialty care to a model that holds the healthcare system accountable for cost and quality. Thanks for inviting me on!

In their new blog, @davidjohnson83, Jonathan O'Donnell, @MerilAnn, @drvonnguyen, Troy Smith from @BlueCrossNC discuss the several models for commercial payers to adopt value-based payment for specialty care; their risks, accountability, practices. bit.ly/3jdoDt0
To succeed in value, specialty care providers & health systems need better/more transparent tools to understand the financial impact of modifiable clinical cost drivers under an entirely unfamiliar $ model @UclaUrology @NCSP_UCLA ajmc.com/view/modeling-finan…
We announced @CityblockHealth’s collab with @BlueCrossNC in North Carolina last week. Very proud of our teams who stood up five new clinics where we will offer comprehensive primary, maternity & pediatric care! Some thoughts from local leadership! cityblockhealth.medium.com/n…
Excited for the launch of our condition-based, full-risk, total cost of care model to incentivize high quality, efficient, coordinated, patient-centered care for members with CKD and ESRD. Incredible team effort @BlueCrossNC@jonodocbit.ly/2Yl3Ecf
Rarely do I have the energy to repost/comment on things with a political tone, but there are so many layers of ignorance on display here, it’s astonishing.
Proud to work for this innovative, provider-first payer. We recognize the essential care our independent PCPs provide people of NC and the devastating impact COVID has had on revenues. Amazing amount of effort and leadership to get this launched amidst all the chaos. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
📢 Dear Independent Primary Care Providers: Today @BlueCrossNC is launching a new program to help stabilize revenue for your practices. This is in direct response to the toll that #COVID19 has taken on your practice revenue. mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/…
It can be hard to keep up with each new #COVID19 development. It feels like we have more questions than answers. I’m inspired by researchers everywhere who are searching for those answers, including my RAND colleagues @c_gidengil and @BoueyHuang.
Heads up fellow North Carolinians. 😳 Kansas just announced a bipartisan way forward on Medicaid expansion (they also have a Dem Governor and GOP majority legislature). We can do this here in NC!! We need to do this here in NC!! #letsdothis#medicaidexpansion
