A multi-payor medical home pilot in Colorado, consisting of six private payors and the Colorado Medicaid program, is using an enhanced payment structure for between 10 and 15 practices that provide care to up to 30,000 patients. The multi-payor pilot, which launched in 2009, maximizes the practice investment cost for the medical home.

During this 45-minute webinar, Julie Schilz, manager, IPIP and PCMH for the Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative, will share Colorado's experience to date in creating this multi-payor initiative, from the development of the program to the challenges that need to be addressed in working with multiple payors.

Ms. Schilz will cover:

• Addressing anti-trust issues;
• Establishing guidelines and gaining stakeholder commitment;
• Including public and private payors in demonstrations;
• Considerations for healthcare payment reform and alignment with demonstration goals;
• Funding a multi-payor collaborative; and
• Overcoming the challenges of working with multiple payors.
