Summary: While there is a great deal of interest among public payors in medical home funding models, their funding needs pose several challenges, explains Lesley Reeder, RN, BSN, quality improvement specialist for the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. In this podcast, Reeder shares the secrets to a successful payor-provider partnership and discusses some of the code-dependent strategies at work in Colorado to reimburse physicians for preventive care services dispensed from the medical home. Reeder, along with Dr. Barbara Walters, senior medical director of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, will examine case studies of reimbursement strategies for medical home programs during a September 24, 2008 webinar, Reimbursement Models for Medical Homes: From Pilot to Practice.
