Docs who transform their practices could receive up to $100,000
A new medical home program launched by Bridges to Excellence (BTE) will offer bonuses of up to $100,000 per year to physicians who reengineer their practices to provide high-quality, patient-centered care.
“What we’re looking for is the transformation of the practice and the transformation of the culture of the practice from being reactive to being proactive,” says Francois de Brantes, CEO of BTE. “And that means being very focused on the patient and the management of that patient.”
Through participation in the BTE Medical Home recognition program, physicians can receive an annual bonus payment of $125 for each patient covered by a participating employer, with a suggested maximum yearly incentive of $100,000.
