NJ hopes to pilot ‘multi-payer’ coordinated care initiative
New Jersey could be among a handful of states chosen in March to participate in an innovative pilot that will partner Medicare and private insurers in a coordinated model for healthcare. The Medicare initiative will increase the payments made to primary care practices so they can set up “medical homes” that coordinate patient care, makes sure preventive screenings are performed, and cut down on hospital readmissions.
