Taking the Lead
As the largest single source of health care coverage, employers are in a unique position to directly influence their local health care market for the benefit of all – employers, employees, dependents and the community.
BHCG membership gives employers a tangible way to demonstrate responsible corporate citizenship through increasing health care value and moving the market toward a more sustainable health care system featuring effective practice patterns and value-based pricing.
Data-driven strategies
Promoting transparency, identifying high and low value providers and services
In the absence of adequate information to create a consistent, robust and comprehensive model to evaluate health care value, BHCG commissioned Aitia (formerly GNS Healthcare) to conduct the first statewide Physician Value Study (PVS 1.0) in 2019. In 2022, Aitia conducted the second iteration of the study, PVS 2.0.
The first two Physician Value Studies showed the potential for very substantial cost savings through improved physician performance. BHCG and strategic partner Centivo used the results as the foundation to develop the BHCG-Centivo high-performance, primary care-centered health plan. The plan purchases health care for value and supports clinically integrated health care models and a fruitful dialogue between payers and the provider community.
Work currently underway on PVS 3.0. A press release highlights the goals for this third study, along with more details about how studies were conducted and the data source utilized.
