An Executive Order created the Pennsylvania Chronic Care Commission in 2007. The Chronic Care Commission developed a plan that combines the chronic care model and medical home and includes multi-payer support and region by region roll-out. While Medicaid and SCHIP are not participating FFS payers, the Secretaries of the Departments that administer these agencies participated in program design and contracted managed care organizations (MCOs) are participating. Program features include changes to reimbursement policies and support for practices (practice coaches, learning collaboratives, access to disease registry, etc.) to support practices transformation.
Targeted population: Asthma (pediatrics) or diabetes (adults).
