Since it was launched in January 2011, the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCHM) program operated by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) has lowered the expected cost of care for CareFirst members by nearly $1.2 billion.
In 2017 alone, CareFirst’s PCMH program – the largest coordinated care program of its kind in the country – helped save $223 million against the expected cost of care. The savings are fueled primarily by reductions in hospital admissions and readmissions and how long patients stay in the hospital once admitted.
