A coalition of health care organizations in California has signed a memorandum of understanding to commit to the California Advanced Primary Care Initiative – a plan to transition primary care practices throughout the state to a value-based delivery and payment model, reports Becker’s Payer Issues. Five insurers signed the memorandum: Aetna Inc., Blue Shield of California, Health Net LLC, Oscar Health Inc. and UnitedHealthcare Inc. Aledade Inc., a startup that helps primary care practices create accountable care organizations, also signed the agreement, the report says. The new model is centered around whole-person care, integration of behavioral and physical services and better health outcomes.
