Blueprint for Affordability gets more traction

We’re pleased to announce the second wave of health care provider organizations that have agreed to sign risk-sharing arrangements with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as part of Blueprint for Affordability. They are:

  • Affinia – West Michigan
  • Genesys – Mid-Michigan
  • Great Lakes OSC – Mid-Michigan
  • Holland PHO – West Michigan
  • Northern Physician Organization – Northern Michigan
  • St. Mary’s PHO – Mid-Michigan
  • Wexford PHO/Munson – Northern Michigan

In January, we told you about this new payment model, what it is, how it works and how we expect it to help us transform health care.

Blueprint is the next generation of value-based programs where we work with doctors and hospitals to keep the focus on the patient, align care and reduce duplication, re-admissions and complications.

We’ll continue to update you as Blueprint for Affordability evolves. For now, you can read more about it at BlueprintForAffordability.com.
