New Report
Payment reform is an integral part of national and state-based health reform efforts. Massachusetts, a leader in reform, is exploring global payment concepts in an effort to rein in costs and improve care coordination and quality. The Massachusetts Medicaid Policy Institute (MMPI) has released a new report on global payment in the Medicaid context.
The report, prepared by Mark Heit and Kip Piper of the Sellers Dorsey team, assesses global payment options while addressing the concerns of applying these payment mechanisms to the vulnerable Medicaid population.

The MMPI report was funded through a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA). BCBSMA is implementing global payments with select providers through its contracts.
The Massachusetts Medicaid Policy Institute is an independent and non-partisan source of information about the Massachusetts Medicaid program.
