Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) has expanded its value-based hospital reimbursement model with 5 more health systems in the state, representing 24 hospitals, for a total of 7 systems.
Under the new model, hospitals will work with their physician partners to establish an infrastructure plan that includes an all-patient registry system so that the inpatient and physician office care team can measure an individual’s health outcome against similar populations.
