Most local large employers participate on a PMPM basis for primary care services.

The SCC Model Patient-Centered Medical Home for high-risk populations with multiple chronic conditions The Special Care Center (SCC) model includes multiple features to help reduce outcome disparities: • Culturally and linguistically matched physicians and health coaches • In-depth and culturally appropriate educational materials • Improved access • Team training on cultural competency

  7. SCC Downstream Costs • Medications: switching to lower cost alternatives • Testing: reducing unnecessary tests and using lower cost settings when needed • Specialists: finding and steering patients to high-quality, efficient alternatives (or creating them if they don’t exist) • Emergency Room: getting patients to call and getting notified if they do get to ER • Hospital: better management to keep people out, aggressively managing LOS, consults, and testing
