Carebridge

CAREBRIDGE WAS FORMED IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY CARE TRANSFORMATION (MIPCT) PROJECT, WHICH IS A THREE-YEAR, MULTI-PAYER, STATE- WIDE PROJECT AIMED AT REFORMING PRIMARY CARE PAYMENT MODELS AND EXPANDING THE CAPABILITIES OF PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOMES (PCMH) THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THE SELECTION OF MICHIGAN AS ONE OF EIGHT STATES IN THE MULTI-PAYER ADVANCED PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE DEMONSTRATION (MAPCP), SPONSORED BY THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID (CMS), WAS THE CATALYST FOR BRINGING TOGETHER MEDICARE, MICHIGAN MEDICAID HEALTH PLANS, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF MICHIGAN AND BLUE CARE NETWORK TO IMPROVE UPON THE STRONG PCMH FOUNDATION IN THE STATE AND CREATE A UNIFORM, SUSTAINABLE PRIMARY CARE PLATFORM. SINCE THE MIPCT PROJECT CONCLUDED ON 12/31/16, THE FOCUS FOR 2020 IS TO RECEIVE AND DISTRIBUTE THE OUTSTANDING PAYMENTS OF THE PROJECT.
