Impact of the Patient-Centered Medical Home on Consistently High-Cost Patients
12/04/2023
Hilltop Principal Policy Analyst Dolapo Fakeye, PhD, was a coauthor of this study published in The American Journal of Managed Care. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of a statewide multi-payer patient-centered medical home (PCMH) demonstration on patients consistently within the highest ranks of health services expenditure across Maryland. The authors conclude that, relative to routine primary care, the PCMH model significantly reduces the probability that CHPs remain in this expensive category and enhances continuity of care.
