CMS Launches Multi-State Program to Boost Primary Care

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model, a new primary care model that will be tested in eight states to improve access and quality of primary care, especially for safety net and smaller or independent primary care organizations. The model seeks to expand and enhance care management and care coordination, equip primary care clinicians with tools to form partnerships with health care specialists, and leverage community-based connections to address patients’ health needs as well as their health-related social needs. The MCP Model will provide participants with additional revenue to build infrastructure, make primary care services more accessible, as well as better coordinate care with specialists.

UnitedHealth Group surpasses 1Q expectations with Optum's help.

UnitedHealth beat first-quarter forecasts and raised its 2023 guidance, driven in part by growth from its Optum care segment, which saw a 25% increase in revenue and a 19% increase in operating earnings. The company's emphasis on value-based care, which bases doctor pay on patient outcomes rather than services delivered, contributed to a 34% increase in revenue per customer. UnitedHealth's insurance business, which covers over 50 million people, also saw growth in commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid coverage. The company's profit climbed over 11% to $5.61 billion, and it now expects adjusted earnings for the year to range between $24.50 and $25 per share.
