Brandywine Counseling & Community Services (BCCS) is proud to be one of eight health care providers awarded additional value-based payment reform mini-grants by the Delaware Health Care Commission.
These additional mini-grants have been added to facilitate data integration, improve the coordination of patient care or increase readiness to integrate into an Accountable Care Organization or operate through an Alternative Payment Method.
The commission received a total of 45 applications from primary care providers, behavioral health providers, hospitals, Accountable Care Organizations, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and clinically integrated networks, all of which must be licensed in the State of Delaware. The commission expects to award a few more additional grants for small projects up to $50,000 and large projects up to $250,000, based on the scope of the project.
“These grants reflect a diversity of ways that providers, hospitals, health centers and health systems are embracing payment reform,” said Department of Health and Social Services Secretary Kara Odom Walker, a board-certified family physician.
The first award, $62,168, to Christiana Care Health System’s CareLink Behavioral Health Medical Home Pilot, was announced in November.
