Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina last week launched...

...its Accelerate to Value program, an initiative that will incentivize independent primary care groups in North Carolina to transition to value-based care. Beginning in September, participating practices will receive direct payments from the insurer based on 2019 revenue, which will continue into 2021. By the end of 2020, the providers must join one of Blue Cross NC’s existing accountable care organizations or work with Aledade to transition independently. Blue Cross NC is currently the largest insurer in North Carolina, serving 2,593,316 members.
