Capital BlueCross, headquartered in
Harrisburg, Pa., is the leading health insurer in central Pennsylvania
and the Lehigh Valley.
During the past four years Capital BlueCross has been collaborating with
area providers to implement Accountable Care Arrangements throughout the
region, yielding excellent results including improved quality of care,
healthier customers, and lower health care costs. The company currently
has seven Accountable Care Arrangements throughout central Pennsylvania
and the Lehigh Valley, with both independent physician groups and
integrated delivery systems that serve more than 100,000 Capital
BlueCross customers. The Capital BlueCross Accountable Care Arrangements are meeting or exceeding agreed-upon quality goals relating to chronic disease management, helping patients who have chronic conditions such as diabetes, coronary artery disease, and congestive heart failure experience improved health. More specifically, Capital BlueCross’ Accountable Care Arrangements are exceeding the regional average for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures for some of the leading chronic diseases. Medical and pharmacy costs for Capital BlueCross Accountable Care Arrangements are growing at a lower rate than Capital BlueCross’ total book of business, and compare favorably against similar arrangements implemented by other Blue Plans across the country. Jennifer Chambers, MD MBA FACP, Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer with Capital BlueCross; and Denise Harr, MD, Senior Medical Director, with Capital BlueCross will be presenting on Capital BlueCross' accountable care approach - discussing their medical value strategy; providing an overview and history of Capital BlueCross’ value-based programs; detailing Capital BlueCross’ Accountable Care Arrangements model; and sharing data regarding their program outcomes and results.
