Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney has unveiled a proposal for a pilot project that -- if successful -- could go a long way toward saving money on health benefits for state workers while keeping them healthy.
The pilot would start with as many as 60,000 of the 800,000 public workers in the state’s two major health insurance plans. Rather than a conventional fee-for-service model, the project is based on “patient-centered healthcare,” in which doctors are paid based on seeing a limited number of patients, with bonuses awarded for keeping those patients healthy.
