Payment Models that Support Medical Home and Accountable Care Organization Principles: Maryland’s Experience

Join the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange for the first event in the series to learn about Maryland’s Multi-Payer Program, a statewide initiative that supports the development of patient-centered medical homes with novel financial incentive structures designed to promote provider participation. Hear about innovative payment models aimed to support medical homes and the principles underlying accountable care organizations with an interactive discussion on key issues. 

Participants will explore questions such as: 
  • What are the challenges related to engaging multiple payers? What strategies have been used to overcome them?
  • What types of challenges need to be overcome in engaging providers?
  • What are lessons learned in establishing consistent payment methodologies?
  • How do you realign reimbursement strategies to support evolving delivery systems?
