"Primary care physicians are more receptive to a patient-centered medical home model that recognizes and rewards the added care coordination effort. The Capital District Physicians' Health Plan Inc. not only rewards physicians for transforming themselves into medical homes but also for meeting quality and efficiency targets that save payors money. It's a win-win proposition that is engaging present and future physicians."
