"The pilot project is being undertaken by the WV Health Improvement Institute and is a multi-payer initiative intended to determine the impact of implementation of the medical home model on clinical outcomes and health resource utilization, and to inform possible reimbursement changes in West Virginia. The first phase of the pilot includes a six month intense collaborative learning experience for care teams of all participating practices.
Practices will receive coaching and technical assistance throughout the pilot, will apply for NCQA recognition, and will report monthly on a standard set of clinical outcomes measures. These measures, along with patient experience and utilization metrics, will be used as the basis for future incentive payments. The incentive pool will be comprised of contributions from each of the participating payers based on savings realized in a 12-month period."
