Vermont considering 5-year extension of its all-payer model

Signatories of Vermont’s all-payer healthcare model are considering extending the model agreement into 2028 pending additional discussions led by the state’s Agency of Human Services later this summer, according to a spokesperson for the Green Mountain Care Board.

Under the state’s all-payer model, which was implemented by the organization OneCare Vermont, funds from Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurers pay for services on a per-patient basis instead of fee-for-service.

The initial five-year plan will end in 2022. 

The organization has consistently fallen short of its savings and participation targets, with CMS sending a warning letter to the state in September of last year, calling for a reboot of the model.

“I’m very frustrated with the pace of change,” chief healthcare regulator Kevin Mullin told VTDigger.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
