THE STORY OF FAIRFAX PEDIATRICS o Founded in 1964, FPA is a pediatric independent practice with 13 providers and 2 locations in northern Virginia. o In 2011, we helped to found Health Connect IPA working together with over 150 primary care providers. Health Connect is a CIN for value based care. o In 2016, we joined with multiple pediatric groups in northern VA for Anthem s first pediatric only panel fro value-based care. o In 2018, FPA and The Pediatric Group joined to form Trusted Doctors, a supergroup with now 37 providers and 9 locations in northern Virginia.
HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
Care Coordination Key to Success for Value-based Care
Use in-network radiology sites and in-network labs The Price Difference - An example from an insurance company website Chest Xray Outpatient Radiology Site $40-$189 Hospital A More than $189 Abd and Pelvis CT Outpatient Radiology Site Less than $462 Hospital A $462 - $1,287
Patient Engagement and Education What s the difference between the emergency room and urgent care? Higher co-pay, higher co-insurance! $350 to go to the ER versus a $20 copay at urgent care Only life-threatening symptoms need to go to the ER chest pain, shortness of breath, severe pain or injury, seizures, etc. My doctor has 24 hour phone access, extended evening and weekend hours. I should call them first!
