Medicare Medical Home Demonstration Project
The Medicare Medical Home Demonstration project was authorized in the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 and attempts to redesign the health care delivery system to provide targeted, accessible, continuous and coordinated, family–centered care by a personal physician practicing in a medical home to Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions. Participating physician practices, after achieving recognition as a medical home, will receive a care coordination fee, in addition to current fee-for-service payments. These practices will also be eligible for addition bonus payments based on performance on quality and efficiency measures funded through Medicare savings attributed to the project. The current project is limited to up to eight states and implementation is anticipated in 2009.
