Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) can improve oral health for Medicaid members and also reduce costs through emergency department (ED) diversion, Commonwealth Medicine's Health Law & Policy experts highlight in a report for the Southern New England Practice Transformation Network (SNE-PTN).
SNE-PTN has developed an Alternative Payment Model proposal to provide incentives for optometrists and other eye care professionals to increase visits for patients with ambulatory sensitive eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and common ailments.

The Southern New England Practice Transformation Network (SNE-PTN), a collaborative led by UMass Medical School and UConn Health, has been selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to present its cost savings achievements at the 2018 CMS Quality Conference.
SNE-PTN listened to your feedback, and has redesigned its website to make it more easy to use and locate resources. Clinicians navigate the website through three main portals: Optometry, Primary Care, and Specialty.
Our practice transformation network is a collaborative effort of trusted organizations led by two public medical schools. We have partners in a variety of disciplines, from clinical to IT to quality improvement, and each one brings valuable expertise and insight to the network.
