CT's Medicare patient centered medical home application -- bad and good news

Unfortunately, CMS did not approve CT’s application to include Medicare in our patient-centered medical home plans for state employees and Medicaid. If it helps, we are in good company – Massachusetts and Maryland, states with sophisticated reform efforts – also did not get approved.
But the good news is that the partners are all interested in moving forward with the project anyway. And our Congressional delegation is working on finding support at CMS for our project. We should consider this Round 1.
Thank you to everyone who gave their support to this effort. We will be calling on you again soon.
