From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Earlier this year, we announced plans for our new open access journal
.
Today, we are pleased to announce that Kathryn A. Phillips, Professor of
Health Economics and Health Services Research at the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF), has accepted the appointment
of Editor-in-Chief of Health Affairs Scholar.
Impacts Of CPC+
The Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) initiative, a multipayer
payment reform model, provided incentives for practices to lower
spending and improve quality.
Adam Markovitz and colleagues use claims and enrollment data from two
large insurers in Michigan to evaluate the effects of CPC+ on enrollee
spending
and quality from the period 2013-20.
They find that CPC+ was neither associated with reductions in total
spending or most components of spending nor associated with improvements
in overall quality performance among enrollees.
The authors indicate that a multipayer model can create coordination and
integration problems from both a provider and a programmatic
perspective.
They conclude that that CPC+ did not improve spending or quality for
private-plan enrollees in Michigan, even before accounting for payouts
to providers.
Markovitz and colleagues' policy recommendations focus on strengthening
financial incentives in CPC+ by requiring that practices transition a
greater portion of their payments to partial capitation.

Margaret Murray discuss how people dually eligible for Medicare and
Medicaid have greater need for coordinated tools and services to address
social determinants of health
.
This article is part of a series, produced with the support of Arnold
Ventures , covering the topic of
Medicare and Medicaid Integration
.
