Ok, so another physician we know has received a letter from BCBS. We have not received it yet. It outlines the Patient Centered Medical Home for them. Now, from what I am reading the PCMH requires a dung-load of extra work for the physicians, but they claim they will pay you more for doing (well, actually proving that you are doing) it. Because most of the things PCPs seem to already do.

They are going to pay a small amount per patient per month (PPPM or $*p*months) Uh....under $5 for commerical members. This is in addition to the current fee for service. I'm just curious as to the response by physicians to this, since I am not one. I am assuming when other insurers do this, their rate will be similar.
