The Green Mountain Care Board, which oversees the rate of Vermont’s growth in healthcare cost, OK’d the budget last week. OneCare’s budget includes roughly $600 million for patient care, approximately $12.5 million for operating expenses and about $7.5 million for pilot projects aimed at supporting the state’s health system.
The 10 hospitals participating in OneCare receive fixed monthly payments for providing care. Primary care providers get $3.25 per patient per month, and providers caring for the sickest patients receive an additional $15 to $25 each month, the Burlington Free Press reports.
Beginning in January, roughly one in every five Vermont residents, or 122,000 individuals, will receive care under OneCare ACO.
