Traditional | Advanced | Synthesis

Though most primary care practices participate in value-based agreements, relatively few have implemented full capitation. From 2018 to 2020, the Community Health Centers of Lane County transitioned from fee-for-service (FFS) to full capitation for Medicaid patients, representing about 70% of the primary care patient population served. Lane County leaders will describe successes by showing positive financial results, improvements in provider and staff satisfaction, strong provider recruitment and reduced turnover. They will also discuss challenges and offer recommendations to avoid pitfalls in the migration to full capitation. Attendees will see videos of staff and providers describing their experiences transitioning from FFS to capitated care. The presentation will be followed by group discussion where audience members can share their own experiences and broaden knowledge of the group related to capitated payment arrangements.
