Wyden offers bipartisan chronic disease bill

Wyden offers bipartisan chronic disease bill-politico: The voluntary program outlined by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) would allow Medicare providers to operate “Better Care Plans” or “Better Care Practices.” They would receive new risk adjustments, capitated payments and be rewarded for better outcomes. It would lift federal prohibitions on providers from reaching out to the sickest patients to provide care. And providers could also use incentives to motivate patients.
