In order to accomplish our goal, employers, consumers, physicians and payers have agreed that it is essential to support a better model of compensating physicians. Compensation under the Patient Centered Medical Home model would incorporate enhanced access and communication, improve coordination of care, expand administrative and quality innovations and promote active patient and family involvement.

The Patient Centered Medical Home model will also engage patients and their families in positive ongoing relationships with their physicians. Further, the Patient Centered Medical Home will improve the quality of care delivered and help control the unsustainable rising costs of healthcare for both individuals and plan-sponsors.
