“It's fair to say that a primary care physician or primary care practice can increase earnings by 25% in bonus payments if actively engaged in (a) PCMH. It allows them to increase quality, improve outcomes, and lower costs, therefore triggering bonus payments.”
- Ken Goulet, former executive vice president of Anthem Inc. and current board member at OODA Health.

FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers) in expansion states are significantly more likely to engage in value-based care than those in non-expansion states (79% versus 69%). As a result, 86% of those in expansion states are recognized as medical homes, versus 80% in non-expansion states. And 53% of FQHCs in expansion states have been awarded financial incentives to become medical homes, versus 45% in non-expansion states.
